Melting Glaciers Lead to Sea Level Rise

Melting Glaciers Lead to Sea Level Rise

Projections of contributions to sea level rise by 2100 for seven regions that include all Arctic glaciers. Projections are based on temperature and precipitation simulated by ten different global climate models from CMIP3. For each region, the estimates are shown in different colors corresponding to the ten different models. (Figure source: adapted from Radić and Hock 2011c426adb7-b055-4726-80f1-82d7846f46c0).
