Water is forever changing in the present, affecting peoples’ lives every day. But what about the past? Can it inform us about what the future holds? Should we care? Join us as we navigate through sea level changes in the past 10,000 years, how glaciers have changed in the past 100 years, and how these events might affect us in the future.

Sea-level changes over the last 10,000 years - Who cares?

Geoffrey Richards (Enviroment department, University of York)

Average global sea level is rising. My research is on the past 10,000 years of sea-level change - in Wales. Who cares? What's that got to do with the here and now? I'll explain how I reconstruct the past and why it is essential to our predictions of the future.
