Tropical teleconnection impacts on Antarctic climate changes
Over the modern satellite era, substantial climatic changes have been observed in the
Antarctic, including atmospheric and oceanic warming, ice sheet thinning and a general …

The sensitivity of the Antarctic ice sheet to a changing climate: Past, present, and future
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 …

Modelling the climate and surface mass balance of polar ice sheets using RACMO2–Part 2: Antarctica (1979–2016)
We evaluate modelled Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) near-surface climate, surface mass balance
(SMB) and surface energy balance (SEB) from the updated polar version of the regional …

Climate change drives expansion of Antarctic ice-free habitat
Antarctic terrestrial biodiversity occurs almost exclusively in ice-free areas that cover less
than 1% of the continent. Climate change will alter the extent and configuration of ice-free …

Evolution of the Southern Annular Mode during the past millennium
Abstract The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) is the primary pattern of climate variability in the
Southern Hemisphere,, influencing latitudinal rainfall distribution and temperatures from the …

Ocean forcing of glacier retreat in the western Antarctic Peninsula
In recent decades, hundreds of glaciers draining the Antarctic Peninsula (63° to 70° S) have
undergone systematic and progressive change. These changes are widely attributed to …

The Antarctic Peninsula under a 1.5 C global warming scenario
Warming of the Antarctic Peninsula in the latter half of the twentieth century was greater than
any other terrestrial environment in the Southern Hemisphere, and clear cryospheric and …

Divergent trajectories of Antarctic surface melt under two twenty-first-century climate scenarios
Ice shelves modulate Antarctic contributions to sea-level rise and thereby represent a
critical, climate-sensitive interface between the Antarctic ice sheet and the global ocean …

Widespread seasonal speed-up of west Antarctic Peninsula glaciers from 2014 to 2021
Mass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet is dominated by ice dynamics, where ocean-driven
melt leads to un-buttressing and ice flow acceleration. Long-term ice speed change has …

The 32-year record-high surface melt in 2019/2020 on the northern George VI Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula
In the 2019/2020 austral summer, the surface melt duration and extent on the northern
George VI Ice Shelf (GVIIS) was exceptional compared to the 31 previous summers of …
