    The fastest sustained sea level rise in recent Earth history occurred between approximately 18,000 and 7,000 years ago, following the last glacial period. During this period, sea levels rose by as much as 45 mm per year on average, though the average rate was around 10 mm per year, according to CoastAdapt. This rise was primarily due to the melting of massive ice sheets that had previously locked up large volumes of water.

    The current sea level is about 130 metres higher than the historical minimum. Historically low levels were reached during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM),

    Sea levels were between 100 m and 200 m higher than present about 110 million years ago, and 120 m lower than present about 20 000 years ago.
