New Studies Show Sea Levels Were Meters Higher Than Today During Mid-Holocene

Fifteen more new studies published in 2024 document sea levels many meters higher across the world during the mid-Holocene, when CO2 hovered near 260 ppm. [emphasis, links added]

There were 45 studies published from 2022 to 2024 indicating sea levels were approximately 2 to 3 meters higher across the world about 7,000 to 4,000 years ago before declining to today’s levels.

For a full database of over 150 studies, see the updated “2m Higher Holocene Sea Levels” on the No Tricks Zone right sidebar.

Teillet et al., 2024:

“The Holocene transgression began flooding the extensive continental shelf offshore BAH around 10 ka BP, progressively separating Masirah from the mainland through channel formation between 9.5 and 8.0 ka BP.

It then inundated the present-day BAH peninsula around 7.7 ka BP, reaching a highstand of 2.5–3.2 m above present sea level by 6.0 ka BP (Mid-Holocene Highstand; MHHS), before gradually declining to the current level.”
