The mass loss of Alaskan glaciers have been significantly overestimated in previous studies, says a team of international scientists.

The research team, led by Étienne Berthier of the Laboratory for Space Studies in Geophysics and Oceanography at the Université de Toulouse in France, says that glacier melt in Alaska between 1962 and 2006 contributed about one-third less to sea-level rise than previously estimated.

30 percent. Yeah, I’d call that statistically significant.
