In one of the most comprehensive studies of its type, satellite data was used to plot changes in the height of the ice sheets between 1992 and 2002.

Writing in the Journal of Glaciology, a US team says that 20 billion tonnes of water are added to oceans each year.

Mass changes in the ice sheets match predictions from computer models of global climate change, they say.
