A recent study by NASA shows data from the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICES) indicates that there have been "mass gains from snow accumulation" that "exceeded discharge losses" from the thinning glaciers.

For a long time, researchers attributed the cause of rising sea levels to melting land-based ice and thermal expansion. However, this study puts the former under scrutiny.
