Comparison of the North Carolina sea level reconstruction corrected for two different GIA adjustments (red lines) and global sea level hind-casts from semiempirical models (thin solid lines). The choice of GIA has a large impact on the adjusted North Carolina sea level. Semiempirical hind-casts of global sea level deviate slowly from the adjusted NCRSL curve, but confidence intervals overlap for more than a millennium. Illustrative 5% to 95% confidence intervals are shown by the shaded regions colored for the appropriate curves. A 50-y smoothing has been applied to NCRSL.
