The future sea-level rise contribution of Greenland’s glaciers and ice caps

The future sea-level rise contribution of Greenland’s glaciers and ice caps

We calculate the future sea-level rise contribution from the surface mass balance of all of Greenland’s glaciers and ice caps (GICs, ∼90 000 km ^2 ) using a simplified energy balance model which is driven by three future climate scenarios from the regional climate models HIRHAM5, RACMO2 and MAR.
