Stone Spring is a 2010 novel by Stephen Baxter.  It is set in prehistoric Doggerland (renamed "Northland" in the novel) and focuses on the attempts of Northland's inhabitants to adapt to the rising sea levels slowly eroding Northland's coastline.  It is the first part of a trilogy detailing an alternate history in which human efforts were able to prevent Doggerland from being flooded. <SEP> The North Sea basin is located in NE Europe and lies between the United Kingdom, and Norway just north of The Netherlands and can be divided into many sub-basins.  The Southern North Sea basin is the largest gas producing basin in the UK continental shelf, with production coming from the lower Permian sandstones which are sealed by the upper Zechstein salt.  The evolution of the North Sea basin occurred through multiple stages throughout the geologic timeline.  First the creation of the Sub-Cambrian peneplain, followed by the Caledonian Orogeny in the late Silurian and early Devonian.  Rift phases occurred in the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic which allowed the opening of the NE Atlantic.  Differential uplift occurred in the late Paleogene and Neogene.  The geology of the Southern North Sea basin has a complex history of basinal subsidence that had occurred in the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic.  Uplift events occurred which were then followed by crustal extension which allowed rocks to become folded and faulted late in the Paleozoic.  Tectonic movements allowed for halokinesis to occur with more uplift in the Mesozoic followed by a major phase of inversion occurred in the Cenozoic affecting many basins in NW Europe.  The overall saucer-shaped geometry of the southern North Sea Basin indicates that the major faults have not been actively controlling sediment distribution. <SEP> Doggerland was an area now beneath the southern North Sea that connected Great Britain to continental Europe during and after the last glacial period.  It was flooded by rising sea levels around 6,500–6,200 BCE.  Geological surveys have suggested that it stretched from Britain's east coast to the Netherlands and the western coasts of Germany and the peninsula of Jutland.  It was probably a rich habitat with human habitation in the Mesolithic period, although rising sea levels gradually reduced it to low-lying islands before its final submergence, possibly following a tsunami caused by the Storegga Slide. <SEP> The three Storegga Slides are considered to be amongst the largest known landslides.  They occurred under water, at the edge of Norway's continental shelf in the Norwegian Sea, approximately 6225–6170 BCE.  The collapse involved an estimated 290 km length of coastal shelf, with a total volume of 3500 km3 of debris, which caused a very large tsunami in the North Atlantic Ocean.
