- (General Dispatch) – At the end of the ice age, high temperatures led to the loss of ice and a considerable rise in sea level.
- Based on geological records, scientists were able to determine the magnitude of the event. They also determined the ice sheets involved in the sea level rise.
- The information was released Thursday in the journal Nature Communications. According to the data revealed, during at least 500 years the planet’s seas rose 60 feet.
- The study was developed through a technique called “sea level fingerprinting and state-of-the-art modeling methods”. The specialists were able to reach the conclusions.
- First, they were able to show that the greatest amount of meltwater comes from the ice sheets of Europe, the United Asia, and North America.
- The main leader of the research Yucheng Lin issued in a press release that this study has been totally challenging and surprising for them to be able with objectivity and determination to reach these conclusions.
- The effects caused by the melting ice sheets flooded the lower costs around the world. At the same time, the influx of freshwater introduced changes in climatic conditions.
- In conclusion, the findings described above provided significant breakthroughs. Now, however, researchers are after the truth of what exactly caused the layers to melt.
