Abstract

There is public concern that warmer climate in the future may cause extra melting of glaciers, including the Greenland ice sheet, with a resulting rise in World sea level (Warrick & Oerlemans, 1990). Recent estimates of sea level rise from Greenland include 0.36–0.48 mm/year per °C temperature rise (Braithwaite & Olesen, 1990) but much work is still needed to make reliable forecasts.
