| Zusammenfassung |
| We present a method to estimate the glacier contribution to sea-level rise
from glacier length records. These records form the only direct evidence of
glacier changes prior to 1946, when the first continuous mass-balance
observations began. A globally representative length signal is calculated
from 197 length records from all continents by normalisation and averaging
of 14 different regions. Next, the resulting signal is calibrated with
mass-balance observations for the period 1961–2000. We find that the glacier
contribution to sea level rise was 5.5±1.0 cm during the period 1850–2000 and 4.5±0.7
cm during the period 1900–2000. |
