New Study: Africa's Atlantic Coast Sea Levels Were Still 1 Meter Higher Than Today 2000 Years Ago
By Kenneth Richard on 14. July 2025
The narrative that says relative sea level changes are driven by variations in atmospheric CO2 concentrations has taken another
hit.
Before relative sea level (RSL) declined to its present position over the last millennium, Africa's Atlantic coast RSL ranged
anywhere from 0.8 to 4 meters higher than today between 5000 and 1700 years ago (Vacchi et al., 2025).
This Mid- to Late-Holocene RSL highstand was 'mainly controlled by the deglaciation history" - meltwater contributions from Earth's
ice sheets and glaciers. Because the climate was so much warmer than today at that time, there was significantly less water locked
up on land as ice.
The Antarctic Thermal Optimum "simulated melt of the western Antarctic ice sheet until 2.0 ka BP." Consequently, sea levels were
still = 1 meter higher than present during the Roman Warm Period
"Between -15°N and -0°... data indicate RSL reached its maximal elevation above the present sea level in the late Holocene (~2.0 to
~1.7 ka BP)."
