Summary

Description
English: Thermal expansion of seawater is one of the biggest causes of sea-level rise as a consequence of climate change, but ice loss from the continental glaciers and from the polar ice sheets is also one of the most critical drivers of our rising seas. Ice loss from glaciers, Greenland and Antarctica accounts for about 45% of sea-level rise. Another cause is discharge from waterbodies on land, but how much this contributes to sea-level rise is more uncertain.
