During the last deglaciation, sea levels rose as ice sheets retreated. This climate transition was punctuated by periods of more intense melting; the largest and most rapid of these – Meltwater Pulse 1A – occurred about 14,500 years ago, with rates of sea level rise reaching approximately 4 m per ce...
