Global Mean and Relative Sea-Level Changes Over the Past 66 Myr: Implications for Early Eocene Ice Sheets by K. G. Miller, W. J. Schmelz, J. V. Browning, Y. Rosenthal, A. V. Hess, R. E. Kopp, J. D. Wright

“…Both the BSL and RSL estimates have markedly higher Oligocene to Early Miocene Myr-scale amplitudes (20–60 m) than recently published δ18O-based estimates (<20 m) and much lower estimates than those of Exxon Production Research (>100 m), leading us to reject those estimates. The US Mid-Atlantic margin RSL was dominated by GMGSL but was overprinted by changes in mantle dynamic topography on the several Myr scale, showing approximately 50 m higher Eocene estimates and regionally propagating Miocene RSL changes.…”
