Post-glacial sea level rise was not uniform; the rate of sea level change was highest during periods of rapid deglaciation and associated meltwater pulses following the Last Glacial Maximum (around 20-26.5 ka), with the fastest rates occurring roughly between 19 and 8 ka as major ice sheets melted rapidly (e.g., Meltwater Pulse 1A).
The rate of sea level rise was at its maximum during the interval of rapid post-glacial ice sheet melting, roughly 10,000 to 20,000 years ago...
