Greenland Ice Sheet Loss and Global Sea-Level Rise

The Cryosphere, 14 March 2025

This study uses ice sheet model simulations to predict how the melting of Greenland’s ice sheet will contribute to global sea-level rise this century. The researchers calibrated the model to accurately reflect observed ice sheet geometry from various climate models in order to simulate future behavior. Predictions indicate a sea-level rise of 3.2 to 22.8 cm from Greenland by the year 2100, underscoring the difference between a low (SSP1-2.6) and very high (SSP5-8.5) emissions scenario.
