During Expedition 359, Eberli's team drilled seven holes along the Maldives Archipelago to collect sediments that hold records of past sea level and environmental changes during the Neogene, a geological time period that began 23 million years ago.

Paleoshorelines are a useful tool to constrain the magnitude and mechanisms of this uplift, as they are often spectacularly preserved as wave - cut platforms, benches and sea - notches, providing a geological record of the interplay between sea - level changes and rock uplift.

Some studies have attempted to estimate the statistical relationship between temperature and global sea level seen in the period for which tide gauge records exist (the last 2 - 3 centuries) and then, using geological reconstructions of past temperature changes, extrapolate backward («hindcast») past sea - level changes.

reconstructing sea - level and ice - sheet changes on timescales ranging from the 20th century, to the late Holocene, to the last 150 thousand years, through statistical and geophysical modeling of geological and observational records;

Dr. Robert Dill, who obtained samples at relatively shallow depths (90160 FSW) as Chief Geologist on Cousteau's 1970 expedition to the Blue Hole, had waited 27 years to make this return trip to get additional data to answer questions on the geological record concerning average sea levels.

Hansen's paper last summer looked at 3 time scales — 10s, 100s, and 1000s of years — for the scary sea level rises and decided that millennial was out: the geological record showed that if the seas were to rise, they'd rise pretty fast.

According to geological records, sea level still has a ways to rise before onset of the next ice age.

An overview of the geological record of sea level rise is provided, with a focus on Holocene (the current interglacial).

The IPCC AR5 summarizes our understanding of the geological record of sea level variation in the Last Interglacial (LIG) period:

Analyzes geological and historical sea level records and shows a significant rate of increase in sea level rise since the nineteenth century

Non-model evidence for sea level rise comes from the geological record, and is discussed by the Royal Geological Society's position paper on climate change to which there is a link on our website http://www.theccc.org.uk/tackling-climate-change/the-science-of-climatgeological record, and is discussed by the Royal Geological Society's position paper on climate change to which there is a link on our website http://www.theccc.org.uk/tackling-climate-change/the-science-of-climatGeological Society's position paper on climate change to which there is a link on our website http://www.theccc.org.uk/tackling-climate-change/the-science-of-climate-change/.

You would see in geological record (more likely) division of Secondary PEAK and DIP by SEA LEVEL alterations, as TURBULENCE leaves few traces otherwise that would survive till NOW.

However, this hypothesis currently has three complications: underestimation of continental water storage and its confusion with minor lake and river water volume with respect to sea - level change equivalent (< 1 m) 2,30,33; lack of direct evidence of continental water storage from the geological record; and poorly understood mechanisms and timescales of aquifer eustasy27, 28,31,32,34.
