Interactions between the atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere
are most active in the critical zone, a region extending from the tops of trees to the top of …

Identification of Holocene climate events, their temporal and spatial characteristics, and their
causal mechanisms are important for understanding past climate systems with implications …

Climate tipping points are a topic of growing interest in climate research and a frequent
communication tool in the media to warn of dangerous climate change. Despite indications …

Abstract The Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) and Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
(AMOC) are considered tipping elements in the climate system, where global warming …

The Earth's climate has experienced numerous critical transitions during its history, which
have often been accompanied by massive and rapid changes in the biosphere. Such …

During the last glacial interval, the Northern Hemisphere climate was punctuated by a series
of abrupt changes between two characteristic climate regimes. The existence of stadial …

Drained lake basins (DLBs) are dominant features in lowland permafrost landscapes of the
Arctic. Here, we present a novel approach describing and quantifying the succession …

In this paper future changes of surface water availability in Austria are investigated. We use
an ensemble of downscaled and bias-corrected regional climate model simulations of the …

Climate warming exacerbates the degradation of the mountain cryosphere, including glacier
retreat, permafrost degradation, and snow cover reduction. These changes dramatically alter …

Climate tipping points are a topic of growing interest in climate research as well as a
frequent communication tool in the media to warn of dangerous climate change. Despite …
