Pole movement and sea levels

Nature volume 273, pages 18–21 (1978)Cite this article

Abstract

If the centrifugal force generated by a surface load caused the Pole to shift, sea levels would fluctuate differentially around the world. Application of the ‘hydrodynamic’ formula to seemingly incongruous shoreline samples dated 14,700 to 28,000 BP suggests rhythmic polar oscillations on a 5,600 yr cycle, synchronised with two glacial episodes.
