ShareSimulated future sea-level rise due to glacier melt based on regionally and seasonally resolved temperature changes.
Author(s) : GREGORY J. M., OERLEMANS J.
Type of article: Article
Summary
The authors' model predicts that glacier melt equivalent to 132 millimetres of sea level rise will occur over the period 1990-2100, with a further 76 millimetres from melting of the Greenland ice sheet. The authors state that the advantage of their approach is that they take into account the effects of regional and seasonal temperature variations. The inclusion of these effects increases the calculated glacier melt by 20%.
