Alaska's glaciers are forecast to contribute the most to sea level rise worldwide by 2100, at 22 millimeters. This would be followed by Greenland's periphery, which is estimated to contribute with an additional 12 millimeters to sea level rise. On the whole, melting glaciers across the globe are projected to cause a 99 millimeters sea level rise by the year 2100 under a two degrees Celsius warming scenario.
