Understanding the causes of recent climatic trends and variability in the high-latitude
Southern Hemisphere is hampered by a short instrumental record. Here, we analyse recent …

Constraining how much and how fast the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) will change in the
coming decades has recently been identified as the highest priority in Antarctic research …

Reproducible climate reconstructions of the Common Era (1 CE to present) are key to
placing industrial-era warming into the context of natural climatic variability. Here we present …

We present an update of the 'key points' from the Antarctic Climate Change and the
Environment (ACCE) report that was published by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic …

There is clear evidence that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is contributing to sea-level rise. In
contrast, West Antarctic temperature changes in recent decades remain uncertain. West …

The marine portion of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) in the Amundsen Sea Embayment
(ASE) accounts for one-fourth of the cryospheric contribution to global sea-level rise and is …

The cause of warming in the Southern Hemisphere during the most recent deglaciation
remains a matter of debate,. Hypotheses for a Northern Hemisphere trigger, through oceanic …

To understand how planet Earth works we study it increasingly as a system–a collection of
interdependent parts or spheres–the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the cryosphere, the …

Climate trends in the Antarctic region remain poorly characterized, owing to the brevity and
scarcity of direct climate observations and the large magnitude of interannual to decadal …

A reconstruction of Antarctic monthly mean near-surface temperatures spanning 1958–2012
is presented. Its primary goal is to take advantage of a recently revised key temperature …
