One good example of peer reviewed literature that supports those figures is at https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/0D0ECDF026D5C90B7498AE3ADFDA3F01/S0954102009990137a.pdf/ice_sheet_mass_balance_and_sea_level.pdf The actual math is not simple because of the difficulty to actually derive the ice masses on Greenland and Antarctica. Better satellite and airborne mapping and ice mass balance measurements keep refining the number. To help make sense of it intuitively, the surface area of Antartica and Greenland combined are roughly twice the continental U.S. Their ice sheets average depth is more than a mile. Greenland is about 1/8 of the total. Perhaps imagining it visually will help it to seem realistic. If not, I NASA JPL can probably give you some more arithmetical support.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://johnenglander.net/predicting-sea-level-like-predicting-avalanches-earthquakes/#comment-951">Ned Baldwin</a>.</p> <p>One good example of peer reviewed literature that supports those figures is at <a href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/0D0ECDF026D5C90B7498AE3ADFDA3F01/S0954102009990137a.pdf/ice_sheet_mass_balance_and_sea_level.pdf" rel="nofollow ugc">https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/0D0ECDF026D5C90B7498AE3ADFDA3F01/S0954102009990137a.pdf/ice_sheet_mass_balance_and_sea_level.pdf</a> The actual math is not simple because of the difficulty to actually derive the ice masses on Greenland and Antarctica.
