(A) Published reconstructions of the ice equivalent sea level in ice sheets and glaciers at the LGM. In each case, the red squares are the values inferred from Lambeck et al. The horizontal red bar at 134–140 m is the value of GMSL lowering at the LGM derived by Lambeck et al. (4). GL, glaciers. (B) Reconstructions of the ice equivalent sea level in the AIS published since 1994. The red squares are the two solutions derived by Lambeck et al. (4). Glaciological reconstructions generally do not account for changing ocean area in their stated equivalent sea level contributions, thus inducing slightly smaller values than those given by most GIA-based reconstructions.
