New geological data has given more insight into the rate and magnitude of global sea level rise following the last ice age, about 11,700 years ago. This information is of great importance to ...

A new study published in Nature provides key insights into sea level rise after the last ice age, around 11,700 years ago. Using data from the North Sea region, researchers found that sea levels rose ...

Now, new geological data show that sea levels rose about 125 feet (38 meters) between 11,000 and 3,000 years ago, according ...

The research focuses on the Laurentide Ice Sheet, the massive expanse covering North America during ... the Ice Age's events -- changes in ocean temperatures could drive future sea level rise ...

New research provides precise estimates, offering the first glimpse into sea level rise during the early Holocene. Read the ...

By determining which ice sheets melted to create a colossal increase in sea levels 14,500 years ago, scientists hope to enable better predictions of how current ice melting will affect levels around ...

Past climate changes in Earth's history have been accompanied by very large sea level changes. Just think of the Ice Ages that our planet ... we find warmer climates. During the Pliocene, three ...

Doggerland was home to coastal marshlands during the ice age, but rising waters and marine sediments submerged and compressed the marshes as sea levels rose. The team analyzed the different ...

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 ...
