Satellite observations have transformed our understanding of the Antarctic cryosphere. The
continent holds the vast majority of Earth's fresh water, and blankets swathes of the Southern …

We use updated drainage inventory, ice thickness, and ice velocity data to calculate the
grounding line ice discharge of 176 basins draining the Antarctic Ice Sheet from 1979 to …

Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet is an important indicator of climate change and driver of sea-
level rise. Here we combine satellite observations of its changing volume, flow and …

Ice discharge from large ice sheets plays a direct role in determining rates of sea-level rise.
We map present-day Antarctic-wide surface velocities using Landsat 7 and 8 imagery …

We evaluate modelled Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) near-surface climate, surface mass balance
(SMB) and surface energy balance (SEB) from the updated polar version of the regional …

The precise positioning and long-term monitoring of the grounding line, forming the
boundary between grounded and floating ice of marine ice sheets and tidewater glaciers, is …

Abstract Fluctuations in Antarctic Ice Sheet elevation and mass occur over a variety of time
scales, owing to changes in snowfall and ice flow. Here we disentangle these signals by …

Ice losses from the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets have accelerated since the 1990s,
accounting for a significant increase in global mean sea level. Here, we present a new 29 …

We combine satellite observations and numerical models to show that Earth lost 28 trillion
tonnes of ice between 1994 and 2017. Arctic sea ice (7.6 trillion tonnes), Antarctic ice …

This chapter assesses the state of physical, biological and social knowledge concerning the
Arctic and Antarctic ocean and cryosphere, how they are affected by climate change, and …
