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 …

Exceeding 1.5 C global warming could trigger multiple climate tipping points
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 hysteresis of the Antarctic ice sheet
More than half of Earth's freshwater resources are held by the Antarctic Ice Sheet, which thus
represents by far the largest potential source for global sea-level rise under future warming …

[HTML][HTML] Last interglacial global mean sea level from high-precision U-series ages of Bahamian fossil coral reefs
Abstract Accurate characterization of Last Interglacial (MIS 5e;∼ 129–116 ka) sea level is
important for understanding ice sheet sensitivity to climate change, with implications for …

Abruptly attenuated carbon sequestration with Weddell Sea dense waters by 2100
Abstract Antarctic Bottom Water formation, such as in the Weddell Sea, is an efficient vector
for carbon sequestration on time scales of centuries. Possible changes in carbon …

Atmospheric and oceanic circulation altered by global mean sea-level rise
Over recent decades, the rate of global mean sea-level rise has increased, although the
magnitude—tens of centimetres—remains small from a geological perspective. Such a …

Constraining the contribution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to Last Interglacial sea level
Polar temperatures during the Last Interglacial [LIG;~ 129 to 116 thousand years (ka)] were
warmer than today, making this time period an important testing ground to better understand …

Rapid postglacial rebound amplifies global sea level rise following West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapse
Geodetic, seismic, and geological evidence indicates that West Antarctica is underlain by
low-viscosity shallow mantle. Thus, as marine-based sectors of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet …

Onset and termination of Heinrich Stadial 4 and the underlying climate dynamics
Heinrich Stadial 4 during the last glacial period was marked by severe cooling at northern
high latitudes along with the attendant changes in Asian Monsoon (Chinese Stadial 4) and …
