Brown University researchers reconstruct 14,500 years ago's cataclysmic sea level rise.

Researchers used updated physical model of sea-level dynamics to reconstruct Meltwater Pulse 1a .

An initial modest melting of ice over North America set off cascade of ice loss extending to Europe , Asia and Antarctica .

Results reveal surprising linkages between ice sheets around the world and could help scientists make better predictions.
