BACKGROUND Anthropogenic emissions are rapidly altering Earth's climate, pushing it
toward a warmer state for which there is no historical precedent. Although no perfect analog …

Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is out of equilibrium with the current anthropogenic‐
enhanced climate forcing. Paleoenvironmental records and ice sheet models reveal that the …

The mid-Piacenzian is known as a period of relative warmth when compared to the present
day. A comprehensive understanding of conditions during the Piacenzian serves as both a …

Computations have helped elucidate the dynamics of Earth's mantle for several decades
already. The numerical methods that underlie these simulations have greatly evolved within …

Accurate models of past Antarctic ice sheet behaviour require realistic reconstructions of the
evolution of bedrock topography. However, other than a preliminary attempt to reconstruct …

Future sea-level rise generates hazards for coastal populations, economies, infrastructure,
and ecosystems around the world. The projection of future sea-level rise relies on an …

Geological data indicate that there were major variations in Antarctic ice sheet volume and
extent during the early to mid-Miocene. Simulating such large-scale changes is problematic …

Understanding ice sheet behaviour in the geological past is essential for evaluating the role
of the cryosphere in the climate system and for projecting rates and magnitudes of sea level …

Recent studies suggest that Antarctica has the potential to contribute up to~ 15 m of sea-
level rise over the next few centuries. The evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is driven by a …

The evolving mosaic of tectonic plates across the surface of the Earth sets boundary
conditions for the evolution of biotic and abiotic processes and helps shape the dynamics of …
