So much water is currently locked up in the Antarctic ice sheet that if it melted it would raise sea levels by a further 150 ft or more. |
In natural conditions, unrestrained beaches and mudflats tend to move inland under rising sea levels and thus avoid steepening. |
High peat cliffs on the coasts of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island are clear examples of coastal wetland loss by transgressing sea levels. |
If the Earth were not round, whole hemispheres would have different atmospheric pressure and significantly different sea levels. |
Climatologists believe that sea levels are rising faster in Dublin bay than the readings from tidal records would suggest. |
The rise of sea levels with the release of glacial waters at the end of the last ice age flooded the plain between what is now the UK and Europe. |
