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 …

Human-induced atmospheric composition changes cause a radiative imbalance at the top of
the atmosphere which is driving global warming. This Earth energy imbalance (EEI) is the …

Antarctica's ice shelves help to control the flow of glacial ice as it drains into the ocean,
meaning that the rate of global sea-level rise is subject to the structural integrity of these …

The Earth climate system is out of energy balance, and heat has accumulated continuously
over the past decades, warming the ocean, the land, the cryosphere, and the atmosphere …

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 …

The observed acceleration of ice shelf basal melt rates throughout West Antarctica could
destabilize continental ice sheets and markedly increase global sea level. Explanations for …

Rapid ice loss is occurring in the Amundsen Sea sector of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. This
ice loss is assumed to be a long‐term response to oceanographic forcing, but ocean …

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 …

Mass loss from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is dominated by glaciers draining into the
Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE), yet the impact of anomalous precipitation on the mass …

Viruses play an important role in the marine ecosystem. However, our comprehension of
viruses inhabiting the dark ocean, and in particular, under the Antarctic Ice Shelves, remains …
