Here's a new paper by a dear colleague—a friend of the Pleistocene—that helps explain why NJ's sea-level-rise rate appears twice that of other areas. Not only did that rampageous thug the Laurentide Ice Sheet freeze-dry the Pine Barrens, that behemoth sunk the Earth's crust north of us and we were on the southern high end of the isostatic see-saw. Now we are sinking as land to the north rebounds in response to the Laurentide's disappearance.
