Abstract The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) is the leading mode of extratropical Southern
Hemisphere climate variability, associated with changes in the strength and position of the …

Anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases have driven and
will continue to drive widespread climate change at the Earth's surface. But surface climate …

This chapter assesses the state of physical, biological and social knowledge concerning the
Arctic and Antarctic ocean and cryosphere, how they are affected by climate change, and …

February 2020 was anomalously warm in the Antarctic Peninsula region and registered one
of the most intense heatwaves ever recorded in Western Antarctica. The event featured …

Since the 1950s, research stations on the Antarctic Peninsula have recorded some of the
largest increases in near-surface air temperature in the Southern Hemisphere. This warming …

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 …

Accurate prediction of global sea-level rise requires that we understand the cause of recent,
widespread and intensifying, glacier acceleration along Antarctic ice-sheet coastal margins …

Abstract The Antarctic Peninsula (AP) is often described as a region with one of the largest
warming trends on Earth since the 1950s, based on the temperature trend of 0.54° C/decade …

In recent decades, hundreds of glaciers draining the Antarctic Peninsula (63° to 70° S) have
undergone systematic and progressive change. These changes are widely attributed to …

We present an update of the 'key points' from the Antarctic Climate Change and the
Environment (ACCE) report that was published by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic …
