Variability and change in near‐surface air temperature at 17 Antarctic stations is examined
using data from the SCAR READER database. We consider the relationships between …

Recent major melting events in West Antarctica have raised concerns about a potential
hydrofracturing and ice shelf instability. These events often share common forcings of …

We calculate a regional surface “melt potential” index (MPI) over Antarctic ice shelves that
describes the frequency (MPI-freq;%) and intensity (MPI-int; K) of daily maximum summer …

Using an assemblage of four ice cores collected around the Pacific basin, one of the first
basinwide histories of Pacific climate variability has been created. This ice core–derived …

Abstract The Ross Ice Shelf (RIS) experiences surface melt events in summer, which could
accelerate ice loss and destabilize the ice sheet in a warming world. This study links the …

Over recent decades the primary climatic forcing on the ice shelves in the Amundsen Sea
Embayment (ASE) has been the influx of warm water into sub‐ice‐shelf ocean cavities. By …

Antarctica is the last pristine environment on Earth, its biota being adapted to the harsh and
extreme polar climate. Until now, soil formation and vegetation development in continental …

Regional atmospheric circulation along coastal West Antarctica associated with the
Amundsen Sea Low (ASL) mediates ice shelf melt that governs Antarctica's contribution to …

Tropical Pacific variability (TPV) heavily influences global climate, but much is still unknown
about its drivers. We examine the impact of South Pacific variability on the modes of TPV: the …

Some studies have discussed potential influences of Antarctic sea ice anomalies, Atlantic
Multi-decadal Variability (AMV), and Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO) on the Southern …
