Study documents close relationship between past warming and sea-level rise

— 17:00 GMT | Environment

In a paper in Nature Geoscience, a team from the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (NOCS), along with colleagues from Tuebingen (Germany) and Bristol presents a novel continuous reconstruction of sea level fluctuations over the last 520 thousand years. Comparison of this record with data on global climate and carbon dioxide (CO2) levels from Antarctic ice cores suggests that even stabilisation at today's CO2 levels may commit us to sea-level rise over the next couple of millennia, to a level much higher than long-term projections from the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)…

Their findings, to be published in the 21 June advance online edition of the journal Nature, explain how obesity sets the stage for diabetes and why thin people can become insulin-resistant…
