Study Reconstructs 540 Million Years of Sea Level Change in Unprecedented Detail

Researchers have modeled sea level changes on thousand-year timescales for the past 540 million years. These insights offer better tools for mapping subsurface layers used in energy and waste storage. Earth’s sea levels have fluctuated ever since the planet first had oceans. Until recently, scientists could only estimate these changes over broad time intervals, typically [...]
