MWP-1C (Melt water pulse)was termed in Liu et al.,2004.In western pacific area, rapid sealevel rise occured 9.8-9.0ka BP,with the rate nearly 25mm/a. I am eager to konw are there any other geological evidence of rapid sealevel rise at this timespan?
8.2 sealevel jump was attributed to the abrupt collapse of Laurentied Ice sheet and out burst of glacial lakes(Agassia and Ojibway).
So,What's the difference and connection between MWP-1C and 8.2 sealevel jump? (timespan, amplitude of sealevel rise, sources of meltwater....)
Thank you very much!
Melt water pulses MWP 1a, 1b, & 1c were caused by the collapse of ice sheets. The 8,2 ka event was cause by the outflow from glacial lakes caused by the cllapse of a natural dam and was much quicker.
Will the collapse of the Greenland ice sheet produce MWP 2?
