EARTH SCIENCE Paleoclimatology Last Interglacial Period (Eemian)

Last Interglacial Period (Eemian)

Warm seas and higher sea levels marked Earth's climate 120,000 years ago

31 Oct 2025

How did sea levels during the Last Interglacial compare to current levels, and what caused this difference?

Sea levels were lower because glaciers expanded during the Last Interglacial. Sea levels remained the same because the climate was stable and unchanging. Sea levels were about 6 to 9 meters higher due to smaller polar ice caps and warmer global temperatures.
