Global sea level will rise rapidly in the coming century; perhaps by more than 1 meter. This is primarily caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (source: IPCC). Submerged peat ...

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 ...

Alley co-authored a 2015 paper that concluded that -- based on the Ice Age's events -- changes in ocean temperatures could drive future sea level rise even before the air grows significantly ...

Read the paper: Global sea-level rise in the early Holocene revealed ... when continental shelves flooded at the end of the last ice age. The evidence that remains is typically found offshore ...

James White (see Ask the Expert), estimates on how much sea levels would rise given certain ... of land once the ice disappears, and on the fact that some ice is below sea level.

Just think of the Ice ... sea level rise. This can have both natural reasons (i.e. tectonic processes as well as the still ongoing response to the massive ice loss at the end of the last ice age ...

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 of the event ...

Samples drilled from deep beneath the sea have revealed just how much global sea levels changed following the last ice age. Melting ice ... Rates of sea level rise peaked at more than 0.4 inch ...

The new geological data provides new insight into the rate and magnitude of global sea level rise following the last ice age, about 11,700 years ago, in a period referred to as the Holocene. This ...

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 ...
