What might be the calculated sea surface rise from a total Greenland melt? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise"
Volume of ice in km^3 /surface area ocean km^2 = rise in km. S.A. of Earth is 510 x 10^6 km^2. ocean is 71% of S.A., or 361 x 10^6 km^2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth" But wouldn't one also have to consider caveat of part of melt occupying Greenland basin, leaving an archipelago?
