The Holocene is a geologic epoch that follows directly after the Pleistocene. Continental motions due to plate tectonics are less than a kilometre over a span of only 10,000 years. However, ice melt caused world sea levels to rise about 35 m (115 ft) in the early part of the Holocene and another 30 m in the later part of the Holocene.

The Holocene Epoch. To observe a Holocene environment, simply look around you! The Holocene is the name given to the last 11,700 years* of the Earth's history — the time since the end of the last major glacial epoch, or "ice age."
1 paź 2008 · The Cooperative Holocene Mapping Project (COHMAP) subsequently assembled a global array of paleoclimatic observations (especially terrestrial pollen, lake level and plant macrofossil data) to characterise millennial-scale climate changes at 3000-year intervals since the LGM, and used AGCM simulations to assess possible causes of the patterns ...
