Sea level and global ice volumes from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Holocene

Kurt Lambeck, Hélène Rouby, Anthony Purcell et al., 2014. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 111(43): 15296-15303.

Inversion of about 1,000 sea-level observations for the past 35,000 years: sea level fell to 134 m below today by 21,000 years ago and rose through the main deglaciation from about 16,500 to 8,200 years ago, more slowly during the Younger Dryas.
