Ice sheet collapse following a prolonged period of stable sea level during the last interglacial

Ice sheet collapse following a prolonged period of stable sea level during the last interglacial

During the last interglacial period, 127-116 kyr ago, global mean sea level reached a peak of 5-9m above present-day sea level. However, the exact timing and magnitude of ice sheet collapse that contributed to the sea-level highstand is unclear. Here we explore this timing using stratigraphic and ge...
