Higher than present global mean sea level recorded by an Early Pliocene intertidal unit in Patagonia (Argentina)

A. Rovere, M. Pappalardo, et al.

Explore groundbreaking research led by Alessio Rovere and colleagues that reveals astonishing insights into global mean sea level during the Early Pliocene. Their findings suggest that sea levels may have been over 20 meters higher than today, hinting at a dramatically different Earth without significant ice cover. This study from central Patagonia uncovers crucial historical data for understanding future sea level rise.
