Abstract

The article informs about how rising sea levels have been associated with human migration and behavioral shifts throughout prehistory, often with an emphasis on landscape submergence and consequent societal collapse. It also mentions how climate warming and persistent sea-level rise will cause increased extreme sea levels as a result of changes in water levels, tidal dynamics, wave climates, and storm surges.
