Paleo Islands and Archipelago Configuration (PIAC) database

Abstract: The Paleo Islands and Archipelago Configuration (PIAC) database containins sea level driven paleogeography changes over the late Quaternary of 178 islands in 27 archipelagos. The workflow developed to calculate archipelago configuration and paleo-area is provided to allow calculations for other islands, time steps, and higher spatiotemporal resolutions.
