Summary

Several outcrops along the northeastern coastline of Oman that are the result of a last interglacial sea level highstand, potentially allow the reconstruction of short-term sea level fluctuations during MIS5e. A combination of dating and sedimentological observations is used to reconstruct the coastal evolution of the region.
