Mountain Glacier Melt to Contribute 12
Centimeters to World Sea-Level Increases by
2100
  ScienceDaily (Jan. 11, 2011) — Melt off from small
mountain glaciers and ice caps will contribute
about 12 centimetres to world sea-level increases
by 2100, according to UBC research published
this week in Nature Geoscience.
