The study, published in Scientific Data, concludes that Greenland and Antarctica have lost 11.3–12.5 trillion tons of ice over 47 years, raising global sea levels by 3.1 centimeters. Five-sixths of the loss comes from glaciers flowing faster into the ocean due to warmer waters, not surface melting from hotter air.

“The ice sheets are melting away fast. We are melting the polar regions, sea level is rising worldwide and will exacerbate the vulnerability of coastal regions.”
