The abyssal ocean circulation is a key component of the global meridional overturning
circulation, cycling heat, carbon, oxygen and nutrients throughout the world ocean,. The …

Decadal trends in the properties of seawater adjacent to Antarctica are poorly known, and
the mechanisms responsible for such changes are uncertain. Antarctic ice sheet mass loss …

The instability and accelerated melting of the Antarctic Ice Sheet are among the foremost
elements of contemporary global climate change,. The increased freshwater output from …

In recent decades, Antarctica has experienced pronounced climate changes. The Antarctic
Peninsula exhibited the strongest warming, of any region on the planet, causing rapid …

The dominant feature of large-scale mass transfer in the modern ocean is the Atlantic
meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). The geometry and vigour of this circulation …

Our understanding of the deglacial evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) following the
Last Glacial Maximum (26,000–19,000 years ago) is based largely on a few well-dated but …

The lower limb of the Atlantic overturning circulation is resupplied by the sinking of dense
Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) that forms via intense air–sea–ice interactions next to …

Abstract Meltwater from the Antarctic Ice Sheet is projected to cause up to one metre of sea-
level rise by 2100 under the highest greenhouse gas concentration trajectory (RCP8. 5) …

Atmospheric warming is projected to increase global mean surface temperatures by 0.3 to
4.8 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial values by the end of this century. If anthropogenic …

The disintegration of ice shelves, reduced sea-ice and glacier extent, and shifting ecological
zones observed around Antarctica, highlight the impact of recent atmospheric and oceanic …
