‘Catastrophic’ sea level rise in the past may have drowned corals in Hawaii
Anthony Watts / 24 hours ago September 28, 2017   

From the UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY

Did rapid sea-level rise drown fossil coral reefs around Hawaii?

Investigations to predict changes in sea levels and their impacts on coastal systems are a step closer, as a result of international collaboration between the University of Sydney and researchers from Japan, Spain, and the United States.

Scientists globally are investigating just how quickly sea-level rise can occur as a result of global warming and ice sheets melting.
