I know you don't teach this part of the course but on the erosion at Holderness case study it says that sea levels have increased by 100-150m in the last 18,000 years. Do you think it should be 1,800?
Pear shaped drainage basins have more land surface area closest to the river (fat bit at the bottom) so water reaches the river faster. http://copranet.projects.eucc-d.de/files/000164_EUROSION_Holderness_coast.pdf This looks a fab resource if you have time to read it! Your first date is right! last ice age!

Why are pear shaped drainage basins more likely to flood than balloon shaped ones? I don't really get what pear shaped is.
