The oscillations between glacial and interglacial climate conditions over the past three million
years have been characterized by a transfer of immense amounts of water between two of …

Sea level change during the Quaternary is primarily a consequence of the cyclic growth and
decay of ice sheets, resulting in a complex spatial and temporal pattern. Observations of this …

We show that robust regressions can be established between relative sea-level (RSL) data
and benthic foraminifera oxygen isotopic ratios from the North Atlantic and Equatorial Pacific …

The major cause of sea-level change during ice ages is the exchange of water between ice
and ocean and the planet’s dynamic response to the changing surface load. Inversion of ∼…

Astronomers have long noted that the Earth does not rotate uniformly about an axis fixed in
the planet, that both the length-of-day and the direction of the rotation axis vary periodically …

Sea-level data from seven different regions have been used to estimate the global change
in ocean and ice volumes for the time interval leading into and out of the Last Glacial …

During the Last Glacial Maximum, ice sheets covered large areas in northern latitudes and
global temperatures were significantly lower than today. But few direct estimates exist of the …

This chapter assesses the current state of knowledge of the rate of change of global-averaged
and regional sea-level in relation to climate change. We focus on the 20th and 21st …

The eustatic component of relative sea-level change provides a measure of the amount of
ice transferred between the continents and oceans during glacial cycles. This has been …

Northwestern Europe remains a key region for testing models of glacial isostasy because of
the good geological record of crustal response to the glacial unloading since the time of the …
