Study of Sea Level Fluctuations Over the Past 35,000 years

Imagine the awesome historical changes, including the movement of peoples over the earth during the past 35,000 years ... particularly during and after the last ice age ... which ended about 6,000 years ago. And now global warming has speeded things up to an unprecedented extent. Despite that acceleration, we can only imagine the effects it will have upon civilization, as few of us will be here even a mere hundred years from now.

Changing sea levels is a subject that fascinates me. If anyone knows of some good books about the effects of rising sea levels, I'd like to read more. I liked The Flooded Earth by Peter D. Ward, even though it was poorly edited.

The NOVA episode "Extreme Ice" had incredible footage of massive melting in Greenland and Alaska. It was hard to watch without being convinced that something titanic is underway:

The Library of Congress has a Flicker account where, among many other things, they have posted pictures of glaciers taken around 1900. They were meant to be nothing but tourist post cards but today they are primary documents showing how much the ice has retreated in the last century. Comparing them with modern photos is surprising.

This has gotten good reviews:
