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 …

Abstract The Third Pole (TP) is experiencing rapid warming and is currently in its warmest
period in the past 2,000 years. This paper reviews the latest development in multidisciplinary …

Since the 1950s, research stations on the Antarctic Peninsula have recorded some of the
largest increases in near-surface air temperature in the Southern Hemisphere. This warming …

Antarctica has long been considered biologically isolated. Global warming will make parts of
Antarctica more habitable for invasive taxa, yet presumed barriers to dispersal—especially …

This chapter assesses the causes of observed changes assessed in Chapters 2 to 5 and
uses understanding of physical processes, climate models and statistical approaches. The …

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 …

Antarctica is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change on Earth and studying the
past and present responses of this polar marine ecosystem to environmental change is a …

Understanding the causes of recent climatic trends and variability in the high-latitude
Southern Hemisphere is hampered by a short instrumental record. Here, we analyse recent …

Climate reanalyses provide key information to calibrate proxy records in regions with scarce
direct observations. The climate reanalysis used to perform a proxy calibration should …

Over the last three decades, the South Pole has experienced a record-high statistically
significant warming of 0.61±0.34° C per decade, more than three times the global average …
