Paleotopography
Reconstruction of the Earth’s surface paleotopography and paleobathymetry between present day and 540 Million years ago as still images.
Sea level is illustrated in this collection of accurate, accessible science graphics, designed to make understanding changes in ocean height clear and engaging. These visuals cover tides, global sea-level rise, coastal processes, and the influence of climate and tectonics, helping to show how the Earth’s oceans interact with the land and atmosphere. Ideal for educators, students, and geoscience enthusiasts, this sea-level graphic collection turns complex oceanographic and environmental concepts into visually rich, easy-to-grasp resources for teaching and learning about our planet’s changing seas.

Surface topography cross-section art
The global bedrock relief model of the Earth’s surface along the equator integrating land topography and ocean bathymetry reveals the vastness of the ocean depths.
Surface topography cross-section
Global cross-section of the Earth’s surface topography showing the bedrock elevation across oceans, land, and ice sheets.
Sea-level change mechanisms (sketch)
Sketches outlining the solid-Earth induced sea-level change mechanisms over different time periods, covering elastic, viscous, and mantle convection time scales.
