Reconstructing the glacier contribution to sea-level rise back to 1850
International audience We present a method to estimate the glacier contribution to sea-level rise from glacier length records. These records form the only direct evidence of glacier changes prior to 1946, when the first continuous mass-balance observations began. A globally representative length sig...
