Response of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet to past and future climate change
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 …

Mechanisms and impacts of Earth system tipping elements
Tipping elements are components of the Earth system which may respond nonlinearly to
anthropogenic climate change by transitioning toward substantially different long‐term …

Global glacier change in the 21st century: Every increase in temperature matters
Glacier mass loss affects sea level rise, water resources, and natural hazards. We present
global glacier projections, excluding the ice sheets, for shared socioeconomic pathways …

Antarctic calving loss rivals ice-shelf thinning
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 …

Intense atmospheric rivers can weaken ice shelf stability at the Antarctic Peninsula
The disintegration of the ice shelves along the Antarctic Peninsula have spurred much
discussion on the various processes leading to their eventual dramatic collapse, but without …

Direct observations of melting, freezing, and ocean circulation in an ice shelf basal crevasse
Ocean conditions near the grounding zones of Antarctica's ice shelves play a key role in
controlling the outflow and mass balance of the ice sheet. However, ocean observations in …
