Satellite data show that Greenland and Antarctica lost about 11.3 trillion metric tons of ice between 1979 and 2023, raising global sea levels by roughly 3.1 cm. Most of the loss came from warmer ocean water accelerating glacier flow into the sea rather than from surface melting alone. The long-term record also shows that ice loss has accelerated markedly since the 1990s. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-026-08088-0
