Thanks to new geological data, we now know more about how fast and how much the global sea level rose after the last ice age, some 11,700 years ago. This information is of great importance for our current understanding of the impact of global warming on ice caps and thus on sea level rise.

Researchers from Deltares, Utrecht University, TNO Netherlands Geological Service, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), University of Leeds, University of Sheffield, University of Amsterdam (among which Dr. Kenneth Rijsdijk from IBED), LIAG and BGR published their findings in the journal Nature.
