Mollusc Deposits Affirm Arabian Sea Levels Were 2-3 Meters Higher 7000-6000 Years Ago

Another day, another new study has sea levels 2.5 to 3.2 m higher than present from 7000 to 6000 years ago. This one is from the Arabian Sea (Oman).

Another day, another new study has sea levels 2.5 to 3.2 m higher than present from 7000 to 6000 years ago. This one is from the Arabian Sea (Oman).

Embedded mollusc carbonate deposits dated to the Mid-Holocene have been located far inland from today’s shoreline, documenting the meters-higher relative sea levels at that time.

Sea levels were higher because less water was locked up on land as ice throughout the much warmer Mid-Holocene.
