研究通过U-系列测年揭示了摩洛哥北部上新世末期两个记录的海平面高点，发现生物侵蚀刻槽和混合沉积物，推断MIS5a时期海平面上升约10米。MIS5b阶段记录较模糊，估计地壳上升速率约为0.1毫米/年，数据支持海峡海岸抬升模型。
摘要：
The Last Interglacial is considered the most suitable episode from which to infer patterns of rapid sea-level change since its climatic conditions were similar to those of the present interglacial. However, specifying the true position of its sea level with high accuracy is very troublesome in the absence of sedimentological, erosional or even palaeontological markers. This study investigates the morphosedimentary evidence (beach deposits, cliff, notch and shore platform) of two highstands registered and dated during MIS 5 stage by U-series dating in the North of Morocco (Strait of Gibraltar). Bioerosive notches and mixed siliciclastic and carbonate deposits, high energy beaches with algal bioherms, were formed in coastal environments during MIS 5a. A sea-level height of +10 m asl can be inferred for this substage. The record of MIS 5e substage is less defined in the geomorphological record, consisting of backshore/foreshore deposits located at +13 to +15 m asl. A tectonic uplift rate of similar to 0.1 mm/yr has been estimated for the last 130 kyr. These data are consistent with models of coastal uplifting calculated for the Strait of Gibraltar.
