This article reviews key data and debates focused on relative sea-level changes since the
Last Interglacial (approximately the last 132,000 years) in the Mediterranean Basin, and …

Glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) describes the response of the solid Earth, the gravitational
field, and the oceans to the growth and decay of the global ice sheets. A commonly studied …

BACKGROUND Anthropogenic emissions are rapidly altering Earth's climate, pushing it
toward a warmer state for which there is no historical precedent. Although no perfect analog …

Future sea-level rise generates hazards for coastal populations, economies, infrastructure,
and ecosystems around the world. The projection of future sea-level rise relies on an …

Sea level changes can be driven by either variations in the masses or volume of the oceans,
or by changes of the land with respect to the sea surface. In the first case, a sea level change …

Reconstructing the evolution of sea level during past warmer epochs such as the Pliocene
provides insight into the response of sea level and ice sheets to prolonged warming …

The high degree of uncertainty associated with the extent of future sea-level rise stems
primarily from the potential mass loss of the Greenland and Antarctica ice-sheets. We …

Polar temperatures during the Last Interglacial [LIG;~ 129 to 116 thousand years (ka)] were
warmer than today, making this time period an important testing ground to better understand …

Estimating minimum ice volume during the last interglacial based on local sea-level
indicators requires that these indicators are corrected for processes that alter local sea level …

Pangolins are among the most critically endangered animals due to heavy poaching and
worldwide trafficking. However, their demographic histories and the genomic consequences …
