  <Summary>
    <Abstract>This chapter presents a protocol for synthesizing sea-level data by means of a comprehensive database. A rigorous, objective error assessment assures that all conceivable sources of uncertainty are accounted for, thereby allowing direct comparison of data from different regions and environments. New developments in the methodology presented here include a more extensive treatment of age errors, plus modeling of modern as well as paleotidal parameters. The methodology is illustrated with an example from the US Gulf Coast. 
          STUDY NOTES: This is a pilot database intended as an initial release of Holocene geological
relative sea-level data that have been compiled according to a recently developed protocol. The database is provided in two versions: a complete version that consists of 77 variables and that includes all the underlying data, as well as a processed version with only the 11 most critical variables. It is anticipated that this latter version will be adequate for most users, while the former provides a full documentation for those who wish to carry out more
detailed analyses. </Abstract>
