Abstract
The ACE database shows RSL was below present during the Holocene. Rates of RSL change were highest during the early Holocene, ranging between 6.8â¯Â±â¯0.5â¯mmâ¯yrâ1 in middle Portugal and 6.3â¯Â±â¯0.8â¯mmâ¯yrâ1 in southern France from 10 to 7 ka. Mid-to late-Holocene rates decreased over time with rates ranging between 0.9â¯Â±â¯0.4â¯mmâ¯yrâ1 in middle France and 0.1â¯Â±â¯0.5â¯mmâ¯yrâ1 in middle Portugal from 4 ka to present. Comparison of the RSL data to output from a glacial-isostatic adjustment model suggests that deglaciation of the British-Irish and Fennoscandian Ice Sheets dominates the large-scale variability captured by the ACE database, which reflects a decreasing influence of the collapsing British-Irish and Fennoscandian peripheral forebulge that migrated from the northeast to the northwest after â¼4 ka.
