21 de ago. de 2020 · And they discovered that glacier and Greenland ice sheet mass loss explain the increased rate of sea level rise before 1940. This infographic shows the rise in sea levels since 1900. Pre-1940, glaciers and Greenland meltwater dominated the rise; dam projects slowed the rise in the 1970s. Now, ice sheet and glacier melt, plus thermal expansion ...
