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 …

Surface mass balance (SMB) provides mass input to the surface of the Antarctic and
Greenland Ice Sheets and therefore comprises an important control on ice sheet mass …

Ocean-driven basal melting of Antarctica's floating ice shelves accounts for about half of
their mass loss in steady state, where gains in ice-shelf mass are balanced by losses. Ice …

This Report responds to the invitation for IPCC?... to provide a Special Report in 2018 on the
impacts of global warming of 1.5° C above pre-industrial levels and related global …

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 …

Recent observations show that the rate at which the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) is contributing
to sea level rise is increasing. Increases in ice‐ocean heat exchange have the potential to …

Mass loss from the Amundsen Sea sector of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has increased in
recent decades, suggestive of sustained ocean forcing or an ongoing, possibly unstable …

Floating ice shelves, which fringe most of Antarctica's coastline, regulate ice flow into the
Southern Ocean,–. Their thinning,,–or disintegration, can cause upstream acceleration of …

Sea-level rise projections and knowledge of their uncertainties are vital to make informed
mitigation and adaptation decisions. To elicit projections from members of the scientific …

Mass loss from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is dominated by glaciers draining into the
Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE), yet the impact of anomalous precipitation on the mass …
