    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise

    Sea level rise of 0.2–0.3 meters is likely by 2050. In these conditions what is currently a 100-year flood would occur every year in the New Zealand cities of Wellington and Christchurch. With 0.5 m sea level rise, a current 100-year flood in Australia would occur several times a year.

    In sharp contrast, the period between 14,300 and 11,100 years ago, which includes the Younger Dryas interval, was an interval of reduced sea level rise at about 6.0–9.9 mm/yr. Meltwater pulse 1C was centered at 8,000 years ago and produced a rise of 6.5 m in less than 140 years, such that sea levels 5000 years ago were around 3m lower than ...

    The rapid rise in sea level and associated climate change, notably the 8.2 ka cooling event (8,200 years ago), and the loss of coastal land favoured by early farmers, may have contributed to the spread of the Neolithic Revolution to Europe in its Neolithic period.

    Sea level measurements from 23 long tide gauge records in geologically stable environments show a rise of around 200 millimetres (7.9 in) during the 20th century (2 mm/year). Precise determination of a "mean sea level" is difficult because of the many factors that affect sea level. [ 4 ]

    The analysis of 15 + 1 ⁄ 2 years of sea level data from Funafuti, identified that the sea level rise rate was 5.9 mm per year (in the 15 + 1 ⁄ 2 years to September 2008) and the sea level in the Funafuti area rose approximately 9.14 cm during that period of time. [63]
