Cryospheric Contribution to Sea Level Rise - Current Estimates and Projections - Part 1

Explore a comprehensive conference session from the 2012 AGU Fall Meeting focused on cryospheric contributions to sea level rise. Delve into current estimates and future projections through ten presentations covering topics such as reconciled ice sheet mass balance estimates, irreversible mass loss from Canadian Arctic glaciers, 21st century contributions from Alaska glaciers, Greenland mass changes from 1960 to 2100, the 2012 Greenland melting record, comparative ice sheet model forecasts, global climate model simulations of Greenland's surface mass balance, ice sheet model sensitivities in the SeaRISE project, future responses of Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, and the impact of increased snowfall on Antarctic ice discharge. Gain insights from leading researchers on the latest findings and projections related to cryospheric impacts on global sea level rise over the coming decades and centuries.
