Abstract The Amundsen Sea sector of the West Antarctic ice sheet has been losing mass in
recent decades; however, long records of snow accumulation are needed to place the …

The temporal trend of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in coastal waters with highly
dynamic sources and sinks is largely unknown, especially for polar regions. Here, we show …

A decrease in the mass and volume of Western Palmer Land has raised the prospect that ice
speed has increased in this marine‐based sector of Antarctica. To assess this possibility, we …

Temperatures approaching or exceeding 20° C have been measured during summer in
polar regions at the surfaces of barren fellfield soils under cloudless skies around solar …

It is argued that Larsen Ice Shelf contains marine ice formed by oceanic freezing and other
mechanisms. Missing basal returns in airborne radar soundings and observations of a …

We present a new 150‐year, high‐resolution, stable isotope record (δ18O) from the Gomez
ice core, drilled on the data sparse south western Antarctic Peninsula, revealing a∼ 2.7° C …

Annual temperatures on the Antarctic Peninsula, one of the most rapidly warming regions on
Earth, have risen by up to 0.56° C per decade since the 1950s [1]. Terrestrial and marine …

Climate change west of the Antarctic Peninsula is the most rapid of anywhere in the
Southern Hemisphere, with associated changes in the rates and distributions of freshwater …

Global climate models suggest that Antarctic snowfall should increase in a warming climate
and mitigate rises in the sea level. Several processes affect surface mass balance (SMB) …

In the second half of the 20th century, the western Antarctic Peninsula recorded the highest
mean annual air temperature rise in the Antarctic. The South Shetland Islands are located …
