# WALIS dashboard: An online tool to explore a global paleo sea-level database

## TL;DR

The WALIS dashboard is an open-access tool for exploring a global database of sea-level data from the Last Interglacial period.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the development of an accessible and interactive dashboard for querying and analyzing paleo sea-level data.

## Key findings

- The dashboard allows users to query data by geographic extent or metadata filters.
- It supports both online and offline use for data analysis and downloading queried data.
- The tool is built using R (shiny app) and connects to a simplified version of the WALIS database.

## Abstract

This paper describes the WALIS dashboard, an open-access interface to the World Atlas of Last Interglacial Shorelines (WALIS), which was developed and compiled thanks to funding from the European Research Council. WALIS is a database that includes thousands of samples (dated with different radiometric methods) and sea-level indicators formed during the Last Interglacial (125 ka). The WALIS dashboard was coded in R (shiny app) and is connected with a simplified version of the WALIS database. The app allows querying data by geographic extent or by filtering metadata. It then allows the user to download the queried data and perform simple reproducible data analysis. The WALIS dashboard can be used both online and offline.
