Since 1972, the Landsat program has been continually monitoring the Earth, to now provide
50 years of digital, multispectral, medium spatial resolution observations. Over this time …

Abstract The East Antarctic Ice Sheet contains the vast majority of Earth's glacier ice (about
52 metres sea-level equivalent), but is often viewed as less vulnerable to global warming …

Formal planning and development of what became the first Landsat satellite commenced
over 50 years ago in 1967. Now, having collected earth observation data for well over four …

Predictions for sea-level rise this century due to melt from Antarctica range from zero to more
than one metre. The highest predictions are driven by the controversial marine ice-cliff …

Atmospheric warming threatens to accelerate the retreat of the Antarctic Ice Sheet by
increasing surface melting and facilitating 'hydrofracturing',,,,,–, where meltwater flows into …

Even if anthropogenic warming were constrained to less than 2° C above pre-industrial, the
Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets will continue to lose mass this century, with rates similar …

The future surface mass balance (SMB) will influence the ice dynamics and the contribution
of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) to the sea-level rise. Most of recent Antarctic SMB projections …

It has been argued that the− 5° C annual mean 2 m air temperature isotherm defines a limit
of ice shelf viability on the Antarctic Peninsula as melt ponding increases at higher …

We present two narratives on the future of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, from the
perspective of an observer looking back from 2070. In the first scenario, greenhouse gas …

Recent major melting events in West Antarctica have raised concerns about a potential
hydrofracturing and ice shelf instability. These events often share common forcings of …
