Large fluctuations in sea level throughout the last ice age challenge understanding of past climate
Large changes in global sea level, fueled by fluctuations in ice sheet growth and decay, occurred throughout the last ice age ...
Large changes in global sea level, fueled by fluctuations in ice sheet growth and decay, occurred throughout the last ice age, rather than just toward the end of that period. The findings represent ...
When the planet was heating up at the end of the last Ice Age, ice-melt flooded out by glaciers made oceans rise. Scientists ...
New geological data has given more insight into the rate and magnitude of global sea level rise following the last ice age, ...
Buried Louisiana marshes show North America, not Antarctica, fueled the world’s dramatic sea level surge 9,000 years ago.
Understanding past sea level change is necessary for predicting future sea level rise. The main contributors to sea level variability are ice sheet change, ocean water temperature change (e.g., ...

Updated physical model helps reconstruct sudden, dramatic sea level rise after last ice age
Around 14,500 years ago, toward the end of the last ice age, melting continental ice sheets drove a sudden and cataclysmic sea level rise of up to 65 feet in just 500 years or less. Despite the scale ...
A new analysis of ancient layers of peat at the bottom of the North Sea will help scientists more accurately project how much sea level will rise in the coming decades and centuries. The research ...
Nicole S. Khan is in the Department of Earth Sciences and the Swire Institute of Marine Science, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong. Read the paper: Global sea-level rise in the early Holocene ...
A Tulane University-led study published in Nature Geoscience reveals that melting North American ice sheets were the primary ...
