Plain language summaries

Plain language summaries have been produced to accompany papers published by the GlobalMass project:

  • Hydrology trends from short time series are better interpreted using historical variability (Dec 2020)

  • Sea level budgets should account for ocean bottom deformation (Jan 2020)

  • Disagreements in basin-scale sea-level budgets due to the different measurement systems used (Jan 2020)

  • The global ocean salt budget as an alternative approach for estimating changes in ocean mass (Nov 2019)

  • Clouds dominate uncertainties in predictions of 21st century Greenland melt (Jun 2019)

  • New projections of future sea-level rise based on expert judgement (May 2019)

  • Combining computer model simulations and GPS measurements in a Bayesian statistical framework to improve global predictions of glacial isostatic adjustment (October 2018)

  • A new international effort to balance the global sea level budget (August 2018)

  • A new global dataset of vertical land movement due to glacial isostatic adjustment (July 2018)

  • A new estimate of the contribution of ice sheets and glaciers to global sea level rise since 1992 (June 2018)

  • Changes in the amount of freshwater flowing into the Arctic and North Atlantic Oceans (February 2018)

  • More summer sunshine increases Greenland ice melt (June 2017)

  • Increased ice mass in East Antarctica does not offset losses in the West (April 2017)
