Climate tipping points occur when change in a part of the climate system becomes self-
perpetuating beyond a warming threshold, leading to substantial Earth system impacts …

The largest uncertainty in future sea-level rise is loss of ice from the Greenland and Antarctic
Ice Sheets. Ice shelves, freely floating platforms of ice that fringe the ice sheets, play a …

Abstract Thwaites Ice Shelf (TWIS), the floating extension of Thwaites Glacier, West
Antarctica, is changing rapidly and may completely disintegrate in the near future. Any …

Calving glaciers are highly sensitive to bedrock geometry near their terminus. To understand
the mechanisms controlling rapid calving glaciers' mass loss, we measured the lake …

West Antarctic ice-shelf thinning is primarily caused by ocean-driven basal melting. Here we
assess ocean variability below Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf (TEIS) and reveal the importance …

The fracturing of glaciers and ice shelves in Antarctica influences their dynamics, and may
introduce as-yet poorly understood feedbacks and hysteresis into the ice sheet system …

Forecasts of sea-ice motion and fragmentation are of vital importance for all human
interactions with sea ice, ranging from those involving indigenous hunters to shipping in …

Abstract Heat transported in Circumpolar Deep Water is driving the break‐up of ice shelves
in the Amundsen Sea sector of Antarctica, that has been simulated to be unavoidable under …

Elevated moisture transport over the Antarctic ice sheet can increase snowfall and ice mass.
Previous studies used ground‐based observations, reanalysis products, and atmospheric …

Prenatal alcohol exposure can cause developmental abnormalities (fetal alcohol spectrum
disorders; FASD), including small eyes, face and brain, and neurobehavioral deficits. These …
