Summary

Description
English: Graph of mass of floating ice (sea ice and calving and ice shelf thinning) and grounded ice (Antarctica, Greenland, glaciers), also indicating resultant sea level rise on second vertical axis.
  • Suggested caption (sourced content):
Earth lost 28 trillion tonnes of ice between 1994 and 2017, with melting grounded ice raising the global sea level by 34.6 ±3.1 mm. The rate of ice loss has risen by 57% since the 1990s−from 0.8 to 1.2 trillion tonnes per year.
