Sea level during the last interglacial (Eemian) ~2 degree warming Global mean sea level was 6-9m higher tha. Today Peak high stand likely 8m higher

Coming back to this at #NCKF25 where my former boss (+IPCC lead author) Jens Hesselbjerg Christensen is looking at #Eemian #SeaLevelRise

Not quite as catastrophic as the MWP1a but still large. I wonder if this has been updated recently at all? […]

A line drawing of a humerus bone of Hippopotamus amphibius found in the Waveney valley, East Anglia, UK.

Thriving in the interglacial warmth of eastern England 120,000 years ago, a hippopotamus died, conferred its skeletal flotsam to the flood of time. A limb bone ended up in Waveney valley sediments. My detective story trying to work out where...

Drivers of Vegetation Structure Differ Between Proposed Natural Reference Conditions for Temperate Europe Aim Pre-degradation baseline conditions (references) provide crucial context for restoration actions. Here, we compare vegetation structure and its driving processes across the main pre-agricultural...

Arctic Siberia summers were up to 10°C warmer than today during the Last Interglacial, study finds Interglacials are, as the name suggests, warm periods between planetary glaciations when the expanse of ice on Earth shrinks. Currently, we are in an 11,000 year-long interglacial period known as the ...

Arctic Amplification, the process by which reduced ice albedo increases Arctic temperatures 4 times faster than the global average, has been detected in the last interglacial when +10ºC summer temperatures were reached.

We dated frozen lacustrine deposits preserved in #permafrost in Northeast Siberia to the Last Interglacial and analyzed their paleoecological inventory. We found that the #Eemian climate was much warmer than today and that climate models underestimate this warming.
