A suggestion for mapping the SRES illustrative scenarios onto the new scenarios framework
of representative concentration pathways (RCPs) and shared socio-economic pathways …

The Antarctic ice sheet loses mass at its fringes bordering the Southern Ocean. At this
boundary, warm circumpolar water can override the continental slope front, reaching the …

A regional atmospheric climate model with multi-layer snow module (RACMO2) is forced at
the lateral boundaries by global climate model (GCM) data to assess the future climate and …

The Mediterranean basin is a global hotspot of biological diversity and the most rich
biodiversity region in Europe. Nevertheless, climate-driven habitat loss is one of the most …

Four high-resolution regional climate models (RCMs) have been set up for the area of
Greenland, with the aim of providing future projections of Greenland ice sheet surface mass …

Under future scenarios of business-as-usual emissions, the ocean storage of anthropogenic
carbon is anticipated to decrease because of ocean chemistry constraints and positive …

We present results from multiple comprehensive models used to simulate an aggressive
mitigation scenario based on detailed results of an Integrated Assessment Model. The …

A new ensemble of simulations from the Earth System configuration of the Hadley Centre
Global Environmental Model, version 2 (HadGEM2-ES), is used to evaluate the response to …

Using projections from two coupled climate models (HadCM3C and HadGEM2‐AO), we
consider the effect on 21st century sea‐level rise (SLR) of mitigation policies relative to a …

About 75% of the Antarctic surface mass gain occurs over areas below 2,000 m asl, which
cover 40% of the grounded ice-sheet. As the topography is complex in many of these …
