No it won’t, but the science is sound. If icebergs, etc are in the water they will not raise the sea level. It maintains an equilibrium.

@subschneider agrees with the outcome. Not certain for source saying 90% of glaciers are already "in the glass".Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

If the glacier isn't on land at all, it doesn't matter how much of it is already in the water. The water level has already reached equilibrium, and melting won't change that.

The question is about what percent is totally on land versus totally floating.

The issue of sea level rise has to do with ocean temperature rise. Water expands and rises. This is demonstrated in the nuclear industry during ever reactor plant heat up.

That part I knew, which is why sea level rise is different around the world. The original question was about melting glaciers being 90% floating in the ocean already or not.

Assuming you count the ANTarctic ice caps as glacier (which most do), the VAST majority (much larger than 90% AFAIK) of glaciers are grounded on land. Much of it is well below sea level, but if it's resting on land it's not floating. https://www.nsf.gov/geo/opp/antarct/science/icesheet.jsp …
