At the height of the last Ice Age, 20,000 years ago, global sea level was a full 120 meters lower than today, because so much of the ocean's water was locked up in the huge ice sheets covering ...

Past ice sheets have retreated rapidly, raising global sea level at rates >1 cm per year, with marine ice sheets collapsing and terrestrial ice sheets retreating in a more gradual fashion.

But given these variables, White says, current widely accepted estimates include sea-level rises of about 23 ... years ago at the height of the Ice Age.—Peter Tyson Click on the images below ...

Researchers have discovered huge landforms deep beneath the North Sea that suggest the region was swallowed by a giant ice sheet toward the middle of the last ice age. The scientists captured ...

If we keep burning fossil fuels indefinitely, global warming will eventually melt all the ice at the poles and on mountaintops, raising sea level by 216 feet. Explore what the world’s new ...

Observations suggest many of these ice shelves are thinning as they melt from below, with implications for ocean dynamics, global sea level, and Earth's climate. For now, the Filchner-Ronne Ice ...

Following the end of the last Ice Age, around 10,000 years ago, the levels of the North Sea began to rise as waters formerly locked up in great ice sheets melted. Sometime after about 8200 BC the ...

At its peak, huge continental ice sheets spread across much of the globe and the sea level fell by more than 100 meters. In all, this ice age lasted around 100 million years.
