When sea levels rise it's because temperatures also rise (polar ice melting), so migrations tend to be to the north (at least in the northern hemisphere).

Obviously, the Baltic and North Seas rose too. Peoples would have retreated southwards, or in Scandinavia, to the north.
 
3200 is also a commonly-cited date for the breakup of PIE.
 
Fascinating stuff.
