Scientists have found evidence that the coastal land area grew (prograded) by 120 meters from 1900 to 1985 at a study site in central Denmark.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per a new study<\/a><\/strong>, relative sea levels (RSL) in central Denmark were \u201c~4.5 m higher than present between c. 6.6 and 5.9 ka ago.\u201d After this highstand, RSL declined towards the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 20th century rates of coastal expansion and retreating seas were similar to the declining RSL and progradation rates reached in the Middle Holocene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
