I would love to hear the answer to that question. I have been researching the same thing over the last few weeks, and found that the later curves that I have seen show less detail or don't match my data as well.

Subject: paleonet Global sea-level curve

PaleoFolks,

 

Which global sea-level curve is now considered to be standard? A web search yields a welter of information that seems to cluster around brief and local modifications to the sea-level curve of Haq (1987), but it's hard to believe that anything could last so long without being superseded. After all, in 1987, I lived in another city working at another job before I was superseded. But maybe the Haq curve is more lasting.
