How did the contribution of thermal expansion versus land ice melt to sea level rise change in 2024, and what factors explain this shift?

The unprecedented rise in sea levels is directly linked to the warmest year on record. Two-thirds of the rise in 2024 stemmed from thermal expansion of seawater, a shift from previous years where melting land ice was the dominant factor. This indicates a stronger influence of global warming on ocean temperatures.
