Melting glaciers increase loss of freshwater resources and contribute to global sea level rise

The melting ice from glaciers worldwide is leading to an increased loss of regional freshwater resources. And it is causing global sea levels to rise at ever-greater rates. Since the year 2000, glaciers have been losing 273 billion tons of ice annually, according to estimates by an international research community led by researchers of the University of Zurich. The melting ice from glaciers worldwide is leading to an increased loss of regional freshwater resources.
