  • Scientists Discover Evidence for Past High-Level Sea Rise

    An international team of scientists, studying evidence preserved in speleothems in a coastal cave, illustrate that more than three million years ago - a time in which the Earth was two to three degrees Celsius warmer than the pre-industrial era - sea level was as much as 16 meters higher than the present day. Their findings represent significant implications for understanding and predicting the pace of current-day sea level rise amid a warming climate.
