Sea-level rise due to polar ice-sheet mass loss during past warm periods
BACKGROUND Although thermal expansion of seawater and melting of mountain glaciers
have dominated global mean sea level (GMSL) rise over the last century, mass loss from the …

A Late Pleistocene sea level stack
RM Spratt, LE Lisiecki - Climate of the Past, 2016 - cp.copernicus.org
Late Pleistocene sea level has been reconstructed from ocean sediment core data using a
wide variety of proxies and models. However, the accuracy of individual reconstructions is …

Sea-level trends across The Bahamas constrain peak last interglacial ice melt
During the last interglacial (LIG) period, global mean sea level (GMSL) was higher than at
present, likely driven by greater high-latitude insolation. Past sea-level estimates require …

The sensitivity of the Antarctic ice sheet to a changing climate: Past, present, and future
Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is out of equilibrium with the current anthropogenic‐
enhanced climate forcing. Paleoenvironmental records and ice sheet models reveal that the …

Eustatic and relative sea level changes
Sea level changes can be driven by either variations in the masses or volume of the oceans,
or by changes of the land with respect to the sea surface. In the first case, a sea level change …

Evaluation of physical and chemical proxies used to interpret past glaciations with a focus on the late Paleozoic Ice Age
Abstract The late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA) was one of Earth's most important Phanerozoic
climatic events lasting for over 100 Mys. Despite its importance, its history is controversial …

Constraining the contribution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to Last Interglacial sea level
Polar temperatures during the Last Interglacial [LIG;~ 129 to 116 thousand years (ka)] were
warmer than today, making this time period an important testing ground to better understand …

Geographic variability of sea-level change
Local sea-level changes differ significantly from global-mean sea-level change as a result of
(1) non-climatic, geological background processes;(2) atmosphere/ocean dynamics; and (3) …

A highly resolved record of relative sea level in the western Mediterranean Sea during the last interglacial period
The magnitude and trajectory of sea-level change during marine isotope stage (MIS) 5e of
the last interglacial period is uncertain. In general, sea level may have been 6–9 m above …
