The chemical index of alteration (CIA) as a proxy for climate change during glacial-interglacial transitions in Earth history

P Wang, Y Du, W Yu, TJ Algeo, Q Zhou, Y Xu, L Qi… - Earth-Science …, 2020 - Elsevier
The glacial-interglacial transitions of ice ages are associated with large, rapid changes in
climate, which potentially can be reconstructed from stratigraphic profiles of the chemical …

Stability of the Antarctic Ice Sheet during the pre-industrial Holocene

RS Jones, JS Johnson, Y Lin, AN Mackintosh… - Nature Reviews Earth & …, 2022 - nature.com
The rate and magnitude of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) contribution to global sea-level rise
beyond 2100 ce remains highly uncertain. Past changes of the AIS, however, offer …

Increased snowfall over the Antarctic Ice Sheet mitigated twentieth-century sea-level rise

B Medley, ER Thomas - Nature Climate Change, 2019 - nature.com
Abstract Changes in accumulated snowfall over the Antarctic Ice Sheet have an immediate
and time-delayed impact on global mean sea level. The immediate impact is due to the …

Extensive retreat and re-advance of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet during the Holocene

J Kingslake, RP Scherer, T Albrecht, J Coenen… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
To predict the future contributions of the Antarctic ice sheets to sea-level rise, numerical
models use reconstructions of past ice-sheet retreat after the Last Glacial Maximum to tune …

The dominant role of extreme precipitation events in Antarctic snowfall variability

J Turner, T Phillips, M Thamban… - Geophysical …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Antarctic snowfall consists of frequent clear‐sky precipitation and heavier falls from
intrusions of maritime airmasses associated with amplified planetary waves. We investigate …

Regional Antarctic snow accumulation over the past 1000 years

ER Thomas, JM Van Wessem, J Roberts… - Climate of the …, 2017 - cp.copernicus.org
Here we present Antarctic snow accumulation variability at the regional scale over the past
1000 years. A total of 79 ice core snow accumulation records were gathered and assigned …

[HTML][HTML] Magnitude, frequency and climate forcing of global volcanism during the last glacial period as seen in Greenland and Antarctic ice cores (60–9 )

J Lin, A Svensson, CS Hvidberg, J Lohmann… - Climate of the …, 2022 - cp.copernicus.org
Large volcanic eruptions occurring in the last glacial period can be detected by their
accompanying sulfuric acid deposition in continuous ice cores. Here we employ continuous …

Seasonal temperatures in West Antarctica during the Holocene

TR Jones, KM Cuffey, WHG Roberts, BR Markle… - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
The recovery of long-term climate proxy records with seasonal resolution is rare because of
natural smoothing processes, discontinuities and limitations in measurement resolution. Yet …

Abrupt ice-age shifts in southern westerly winds and Antarctic climate forced from the north

C Buizert, M Sigl, M Severi, BR Markle, JJ Wettstein… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
The mid-latitude westerly winds of the Southern Hemisphere play a central role in the global
climate system via Southern Ocean upwelling, carbon exchange with the deep ocean …

Deglacial temperature history of West Antarctica

KM Cuffey, GD Clow, EJ Steig… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
The most recent glacial to interglacial transition constitutes a remarkable natural experiment
for learning how Earth's climate responds to various forcings, including a rise in atmospheric …
