The scientists found the net loss of ice from Antarctica, along with Greenland\u2019s shrinking ice sheet, has been responsible for 0.55 inches (14 millimeters) of sea level rise between 2003 and 2019 \u2013 slightly less than a third of the total amount of sea level rise observed in the world\u2019s oceans. <\/p>\n<p>Video credit: NASA&#8217;s Goddard Space Flight Center<br \/>\nLead Producer: Ryan Fitzgibbons (USRA)<br \/>\nLead Writer: Kate Ramsayer (Telophase)<br \/>\nScientist: Thomas A.
