Observation‐based and modeling studies have identified the Eastern Mediterranean and
Middle East (EMME) region as a prominent climate change hotspot. While several initiatives …

There is increasing evidence that fossil-fuel burning, and consequential global heating of
1.1° C to date, has led to the increased occurrence and severity of extreme environmental …

The disintegration of the eastern Antarctic Peninsula's Larsen A and B ice shelves has been
attributed to atmosphere and ocean warming, and increased mass losses from the glaciers …

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are efficient mechanisms for transporting atmospheric moisture
from low latitudes to the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS). While AR events occur infrequently, they …

The Extraordinary March 2022 East Antarctica “Heat” Wave. Part I: Observations and
Meteorological Drivers in: Journal of Climate Volume 37 Issue 3 (2024) Jump to Content …

Sea ice extent (SIE) in the Weddell Sea attained exceptionally low levels in April (1.97
million km2) and May (3.06 million km2) 2019, with the values being~ 22% below the long …

The largest uncertainty in future sea-level rise is loss of ice from the Greenland and Antarctic
Ice Sheets. Ice shelves, freely floating platforms of ice that fringe the ice sheets, play a …

Antarctic sea ice variations are affected by moisture and heat from low‐and mid‐latitudes,
more than 90% of which are transported by atmospheric rivers (ARs). This study employs the …

Antarctic ice shelves provide buttressing support to the ice sheet, stabilising the flow of
grounded ice and its contribution to global sea levels. Over the past 50 years, satellite …

Low-level easterly winds encircling Antarctica help drive coastal currents which modify
transport of circumpolar deep water to ice shelves, and the formation and distribution of sea …
