Regionally differentiated contribution of mountain glaciers and ice caps to future sea-level rise
Abstract
The contribution to sea-level rise from mountain glaciers and ice caps has grown over the past decades. A projection of their melting during the twenty-first century based on temperature and precipitation projections from ten climate models suggests that by 2100 these glaciers will lose about 21% of their total global volume.
