Determining sea-level change caused by continental ice mass variations is a far more complicated matter than one might think. Even if effects like induced changes in ocean currents or thermal expansion of ocean water are neglected, melt water does not redistribute uniformly and homogeneously over the world’s oceans. If land ice melts, the gravity field of the earth changes due to the redistribution of the ice and melt water masses.
