Shelf sea extent rasters (SLW140 2019)

DESCRIPTION: Global paleoreconstruction of shelf sea extent for every 500 yr time period using the global bathymetric model (GEBCO 2019) and a state-of-the-art global spatiotemporal sea level curve. The global sea level curve was generated using the software SELEN4 (10.5281/zenodo.3520451) and raster DEMSRE3a (10.5281/zenodo.1637816). MAPPED CATEGORIES: 0 = > 0 m BPSL (Below Past Sea Level) 1 = Between 0 and -140 m BPSL MAPPED NA VALUES: No Data = < -140 m BPSL SPATIAL RESOLUTION: The spatial resolution of the dataset is a factor 8 of the original GEBCO. TEMPORAL RESOLUTION: A reconstruction is made for every 500 years from 0 BP to 26000 BP. The dataset is provided in two formats: 1. TILED IN ASCII (SLW_tiles.zip): 53 tiles of 10x10 degrees per folder each representing shallow water for a 500 yr time period. Directory naming: structure: //SLW..asc example: 10/010-020/SLW.005.asc description: Tile with shelf sea extent from 0 to 10 degrees latitude, and 10 to 20 degrees longitude, for 500 yr BP. 2. MOSAIC IN TIF (SLW_mosaic.zip): 53 global maps each presenting shallow water for a 500 yr time period. File naming: structure: SLW.tif example: SLW005.tif description: Global shelf sea extent map for 500 yr BP.
