New Understanding of Antarctica's 'weight loss': Sea level is rising with little apparent contribution from Antarctica

New Understanding of Antarctica's 'weight loss': Sea level is rising with little apparent contribution from Antarctica: Scientists have found that the present sea level rise is happening with apparently very little contribution from Antarctica as a whole. The large amount of water flowing away from West Antarctica through ice-melt has been partly cancelled out by the volume of water falling onto the continent in the form of snow, suggesting some past studies have overestimated Antarctica's contribution to fast-rising sea levels.
