IMG_9979_raised beach.jpg Remains of a raised beach near Sennen Cove, Cornwall, UK. Raised beaches are evidence of higher sea levels than today caused by isostatic rebound after tyhe weight of cie was removed from the land when it melted after the last ice age.

366W8385_science.jpg Scientists Anthony Long and Sarah Woodroffe of Durham University geography department looking at glacial marine sediments near Ilulissat on Greenland. For the last 4 years they have been studying isostatic rebound or how the land is rising after the weight of ice is taken off it. If they can understand how the relative sea levels were affected by the changeing climate of the past they should be able to greater understand how the melting of the Greenland ice sheet will affect global sea levels. This understanding is crucial as the Greenland ice sheet contains enough warter to raise global sea levels by nine metres.

These fossil seeds found in salt marsh can be carbon dated to measure sea level rise from isostatic rebound. For the last 4 years they have been studying isostatic rebound or how the land is rising after the weight of ice is taken off it. If they can understand how the relative sea levels were affected by the changeing climate of the past they should be able to greater understand how the melting of the Greenland ice sheet will affect global sea levels.

366W2638_global warming_raised beach.jpg Evidence of past climate change and glaciation. Raised beach platforms and old raised sea cliffs caused by isostatic rebound near Oban Scotland UK. During an ice age the weight of ice on the land depresses it. Isostatic rebound is caused when the weight of ice is removed by melting. This causes the land to rebound and rise up leaving coastal features raised above the present day sea level.
