Onset of modern sea level rise began in 1863, study finds

How do they know bedrock isn’t subsiding?

Can you imagine what happened to his insurance premiums after that!?

Doggerland - The Europe That Was

A map showing Doggerland, a region of northwest Europe home to Mesolithic people before sea level rose to inundate this area and create the Europe we are familiar with today.

Things aren’t always what they seem on the surface. Looking at the area between mainland Europe and the eastern coast of Great Britain, you probably wouldn’t guess it had been anything other than a great expanse of ocean water. But roughly 12,000 years ago, as the last major ice age was reaching its end, the area was very different. Instead of the North Sea, the area was a series of gently sloping hills, marshland, heavily wooded valleys, and swampy lagoons: Doggerland.

Doggerland - The Europe That Was

"If so they need to explain why the Black Sea was a fertile valley at one point."

It wasn't. It was a fresh water sea and about 500 feet lower.

Good Book.

"Did a massive flood in the Black Sea 7,600 years ago spawn the many tales of a worldwide deluge? Two Columbia University geologists think so, and show how a flourishing civilization nearly vanished. "An impressive marshaling of geophysical and archaeological evidence,"---Kirkus Reviews. "

How about the last 16,000 years, back when Doggerland and the English Channel were dry land??

Unless "modern is defined as he period of 1863 until now, sea level rise in the modern period began as the North American ice sheet collapsed about 7000 years ago.

I bet the wall had a high deductible

Give us a ring when the Obamas and their neighbors start liquidating their pleasure homes on the Vineyard.

And that's why historians have long referred to Gettysburg as, "the high watermark of the confederacy."

Is Monterey still worth visiting?

The aquarium is too crowded to consider. Fishermans' Wharf is chintzy. It's changed enough from when I was a younger dude that I now choose to avoid the Monterey Peninsula (not to mention the entire west coast) but that's just moi.

Bummer. I really like Monterey. Now I’m glad the last time I visited was April 2000.

I currently live in the foothills of the Cascade Mts., 12 miles from the nearest town, 50 miles north of Eugene, Or, where I grew up.

You just can’t go home to what you once knew, anymore.
