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 …

The Paris Climate Agreement and future sea-level rise from Antarctica
Abstract The Paris Agreement aims to limit global mean warming in the twenty-first century to
less than 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels, and to promote further efforts to limit …

[HTML][HTML] Sea ice variability in the North Atlantic subpolar gyre throughout the last interglacial
Abstract The Last Interglacial period, Marine Isotope Stage 5e (MIS 5e∼ 116–128 ka), is
thought to have had a warmer, but less stable climate than the present interglacial. One key …

Mid-Pleistocene climate transition triggered by Antarctic Ice Sheet growth
Despite extensive investigation, the nature and causes of the Mid-Pleistocene Transition
remain enigmatic. In this work, we assess its linkage to asynchronous development of …

Twenty first century changes in Antarctic and Southern Ocean surface climate in CMIP6
Two decades into the 21st century there is growing evidence for global impacts of Antarctic
and Southern Ocean climate change. Reliable estimates of how the Antarctic climate system …

Sea level and deep-sea temperature reconstructions suggest quasi-stable states and critical transitions over the past 40 million years
Sea level and deep-sea temperature variations are key indicators of global climate changes.
For continuous records over millions of years, deep-sea carbonate microfossil–based δ18O …

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 …

Early Last Interglacial ocean warming drove substantial ice mass loss from Antarctica
The future response of the Antarctic ice sheet to rising temperatures remains highly
uncertain. A useful period for assessing the sensitivity of Antarctica to warming is the Last …

Exceptional warmth and climate instability occurred in the European Alps during the Last Interglacial period
Warmer temperatures than today, over a period spanning millennia, most recently occurred
in the Last Interglacial period, about 129,000 to 116,000 years ago. Yet, the timing and …
