- NASA-led Study Reveals the Causes of Sea Level Rise Since 1900We know the factors that play a role in sea level rise: Melting glaciers and ice sheets add water to the seas, and warmer temperatures cause water to expand. Other factors are known to slow the rise, such as dams impounding water on the land, stymying its flow into the sea.

- What causes sea-level rise? - NASA Sea Level Change PortalMost of the observed sea-level rise (about 3 mm per year) is coming from the meltwater of land-based ice sheets and mountain glaciers, which adds to the ocean’s volume (about 2 mm per year combined), and from thermal expansion, or the ocean water’s expansion as it warms (roughly 1 mm per year).
- Warming Seas and Melting Ice Sheets - NASAObservations from the Jason series have revolutionized scientists’ understanding of contemporary sea level rise and its causes. We know that today’s sea level rise is about one-third the result of the warming of existing ocean water, with the remainder coming from melting land ice.
