  2. Sea level rise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise

    The contribution for the 2012–2016 period was nearly as large as that of Greenland. It was 0.63 mm of sea level rise per year, equivalent to 34% of sea level rise from land ice sources. [127] Glaciers contributed around 40% to sea level rise during the 20th century, with estimates for the 21st century of around 30%. [6]

    Baart et al. (2012) show that it is important to account for the effect of the 18.6-year lunar nodal cycle before acceleration in sea level rise should be concluded. [25] Based on tide gauge data, the rate of global average sea level rise during the 20th century lies in the range 0.8 to 3.3 mm/yr, with an average rate of 1.8 mm/yr. [26]

    Over the course of the 19-year survey (1992 – 2011), the average rates of mass balance of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets were estimated to be -71 ± 53 and -152 ± 49 Gt yr −1, respectively, and the total ice loss equated to a global rise in sea level of 11.1 ± 3.8 mm. [2] Examining the ice sheet regions individually showed that ...

    Image showing sea level change during the end of the last glacial period. Meltwater pulse 1A is indicated. Meltwater pulse 1A (MWP1a) is the name used by Quaternary geologists, paleoclimatologists, and oceanographers for a period of rapid post-glacial sea level rise, between 14,700 and 13,500 years ago, during which the global sea level rose between 16 meters (52 ft) and 25 meters (82 ft) in ...

    Between 1901 and 2018, the average sea level rose by 15–25 cm (6–10 in), with an increase of 2.3 mm (0.091 in) per year since the 1970s. [44]: 1216 This was faster than the sea level had ever risen over at least the past 3,000 years. [44]: 1216 The rate accelerated to 4.62 mm (0.182 in)/yr for the decade 2013–2022. [45]

    Past sea levelSea level variations over geological time scales; Holocene glacial retreat – Global deglaciation starting about 19,000 years ago and accelerating about 15,000 years ago; Holocene climatic optimum – Global warm period around 9,000–5,000 years ago; 8.2-kiloyear event – Rapid global cooling about 8,200 years ago
