From that number, they have calculated Greenland's contribution to sea level rise over that time, which they estimate to be about 10 to 17 percent of the total global sea level rise of about 1 foot since 1900.
The Greenland ice sheet (GIS) has been melting so slowly and so negligibly in recent decades that the entire ice sheet's total contribution to global sea level rise was a mere 0.39 of a centimeter (0.17 to 0.61 cm) between 1993 and 2010 (Leeson et al, 2017).
As the rate of ice loss has accelerated, its contribution to global sea level rise has increased from a little more than half of the total increase from 1993 - 2008 to 75 - 80 percent of the total increase between 2003 - 2007.
The Greenland ice sheet (GIS) has been melting so slowly and so negligibly in recent decades that the entire ice sheet's total contribution to global sea level rise was a mere 0.39 of a centimeter (0.17 to 0.61 cm) between 1993 and 2010 (Leeson et al, 2017).
The melting contributes to about 1 % of the global sea level rise — a small contribution and only 3 — 4 % of the total contribution from global glaciers and ice caps.
The sea level rise from this contribution is subtracted from the total sea level rise to obtain another estimate of steric sea level rise.
