Sažetak
The rapid rise of sealevel in the Holocene and Late Würm is in essence o glacio-eustatic nature. The tectonic movements were the most important disturbing factor, and the influence of all other factors is not known. The 147 radiocarbon samples from all over the world were selected and the curve repressenting the Holocene sealevel rise was calculated by the least-squares method. At the beginning of the Holocene, i. e. 10, 000 years ago, the sealevel was 31 m lower than today. Since there are not enough radiocarbon data from tectonically stable regions to calcute directly the Late Würm sealwevel positions, the author tried to calculate them eliminating the subsidence component from the Mississippi delta eustatic curve. In this way he arrived at the conclusion that the lowest position of sealevel during the last glacial stage was at -96, 4 m. This maximal sealevel lowering was attained 25, 000 years ago.
