Melting Ice and Sea Levels Each year about 8 mm (0.3 inch) of water from the entire surface of the oceans goes into the Antarctica and Greenland ice sheets as snowfall. If no ice returned to the oceans, sea level would drop 8 mm every year as much of the deposited snow is water ori...
which reduces its density. The effect is too small to see in my experiment (less than 1 mm of water level change), and not directly applicable to melting sea ice in the
Close to the triple point, the surface of ice is covered by a thin liquid layer (so-called quasi-liquid layer) which crucially impacts growth and melting rates. Experimental probes cannot observe the growth processes below this layer, and classical model
Since the volume of ice is unchanged before and after melting, the water level remains the same. This is not true. Water takes more volume in the ice form than in the liquid form. Dec 13, 2016 #3 wei1006 6 0 FactChecker said: This is not true. Water takes more volume in th...
Convective overturning of the water under the ice and the consequent differential melting of the underside of the ice are thought to influence the position at which the melt centers become established. Temperature data are given showing the presence of convective overturning of shallow water under ...
According to the PIK, other factors that would lead to a further rise of the sea level were the thermal expansion of the ocean water under global warming and the melting of mountain glaciers which had caused most of the sea level rise so far. ...
The resulting surge of the West Antarctic ice sheet would lead to a rapid rise in global sea level. The potential sea-level rise after melting of the entire Antarctic ice sheet is estimated to be around 57 metres (187 feet). There is no doubt of the connection between ice ages and sea...

(EAIS)-considered largely unaffected by climate change-may also be melting at an unexpectedly rapid speed. The WAIS, whose base is below sea level, has long been considered the most likely to break down. Besides gravity, a deep current of warm water slips beneath the sheet, melting it from...
Water stored in high latitude ice sheets has a δ18O lower than the mean ocean, meaning the deglacial melting of the Northern Hemisphere (NH) ice sheets lowers the δ18O of the surface ocean (δ18Osw). For regions proximal to release of glacial meltwater, such as the North Atlantic, ...
