The workshops aims to:

  • bring together observational scientists and modelers of past icesheet change with archeologists in order to define observational constraints on future sea-level rise.
  • explore interglacial relative sea levels (Holocene and last interglacial) and sea-level change since the last glacial period in order to understand the processes which caused the ice sheets to vary in these periods. The impact on human populations and the evidence of past settlements will be used to inform the human response to sea-level change in the past as well as to reconstruct past shoreline height.

The meeting will be invitation only: the organizing committee will invite researchers who have expertise in areas of research that are complementary and necessary to tackle the aims outlined above.
