Postglacial land uplift (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lantm%C3%A4teriet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lantm%C3%A4teriet Lantmäteriet (The Swedish Mapping, Cadastral and Land Registration Authority) is a government agency in Sweden that provides information on Swedish geography and property. ...

- tpmx 3y agoAs an example: 10k years ago during the last major ice age, Stockholm was 150 meters below the current sea level. The land is springy...

In 2009 a dock needed to lowered by 0.5 meters to keep up with the land rise.
