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 ...

North American ice sheets drove most of the sea-level rise after the last ice age

Past sea level and ice sheet change

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., ...

North American ice sheets drove dramatic sea-level rise at the end of the last ice age

A Tulane University-led study published in Nature Geoscience reveals that melting North American ice sheets were the primary driver of dramatic sea-level rise at the end of the last ice age, ...
