Quantifying climate feedbacks in polar regions
The concept of feedback is key in assessing whether a perturbation to a system is amplified
or damped by mechanisms internal to the system. In polar regions, climate dynamics are …

The Arctic has warmed nearly four times faster than the globe since 1979
In recent decades, the warming in the Arctic has been much faster than in the rest of the
world, a phenomenon known as Arctic amplification. Numerous studies report that the Arctic …

Many risky feedback loops amplify the need for climate action
Many feedback loops significantly increase warming due to greenhouse gas emissions.
However, not all of these feedbacks are fully accounted for in climate models. Thus …

Extremes become routine in an emerging new Arctic
L Landrum, MM Holland - Nature Climate Change, 2020 - nature.com
The Arctic is rapidly warming and experiencing tremendous changes in sea ice, ocean and
terrestrial regions. Lack of long-term scientific observations makes it difficult to assess …

Arctic amplification is caused by sea-ice loss under increasing CO2
Warming in the Arctic has been much faster than the rest of the world in both observations
and model simulations, a phenomenon known as the Arctic amplification (AA) whose cause …

Elevation-dependent warming in mountain regions of the world
Nature climate change, 2015 - nature.com
There is growing evidence that the rate of warming is amplified with elevation, such that high-
mountain environments experience more rapid changes in temperature than environments …
