Over the past 50 years, retreating glaciers and ice caps have contributed 0.5 mm yr−1 to sea-level rise, and one third of this contribution is believed to come from ice masses bordering the Gulf of Alaska. A combination of a comprehensive glacier inventory with high-resolution elevation data indicates that the ice loss from Alaskan glaciers is 34% less than previously thought.
