Scripps Institution of Oceanography organized the CARMARSEL Expedition with the objective to resolve the late Quaternary sea-level controversy in the Micronesian area. Of particular interest was the question of whether or not in the last 6,000 years there were sea levels in this area that were above present sea level. The work included probing for peat samples, shallow drilling into coral limestone (Fig. 18)
