Increasing cryospheric hazards in a warming climate
The cryosphere is an important component of the global climate system. Cryospheric
components are sensitive to climate warming, and changes in the cryosphere can lead to …

Antarctic ice sheet response to sudden and sustained ice-shelf collapse (ABUMIP)
Antarctica's ice shelves modulate the grounded ice flow, and weakening of ice shelves due
to climate forcing will decrease their 'buttressing'effect, causing a response in the grounded …

[HTML][HTML] Climate intervention on a high-emissions pathway could delay but not prevent West Antarctic Ice Sheet demise
Solar radiation modification (SRM) is increasingly discussed as a tool to reduce or avert
global warming and concomitantly the risk of ice-sheet collapse, as is considered possible …

Projecting Antarctica's contribution to future sea level rise from basal ice shelf melt using linear response functions of 16 ice sheet models (LARMIP-2)
The sea level contribution of the Antarctic ice sheet constitutes a large uncertainty in future
sea level projections. Here we apply a linear response theory approach to 16 state-of-the-art …

[HTML][HTML] The Antarctic contribution to 21st-century sea-level rise predicted by the UK Earth System Model with an interactive ice sheet
Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet will play a crucial role in the evolution of global mean sea
level as the climate warms. An interactively coupled climate and ice sheet model is needed …

Results of the third marine ice sheet model intercomparison project (MISMIP+)
We present the result of the third Marine Ice Sheet Intercomparison project, MISMIP+.
MISMIP+ is intended to be a test of ice flow models which include fast sliding marine ice …

Coupling the UK Earth System Model to dynamic models of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets
The physical interactions between ice sheets and the atmosphere and ocean around them
are major factors in determining the state of the climate system, yet many current Earth …

Global costs of protecting against sea-level rise at 1.5 to 4.0 C
Sea levels will rise, even with stringent climate change mitigation. Mitigation will slow the
rate of rise. There is limited knowledge on how the costs of coastal protection vary with …

The DOE E3SM v1. 2 cryosphere configuration: Description and simulated Antarctic ice‐shelf basal melting
The processes responsible for freshwater flux from the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), ice‐shelf
basal melting and iceberg calving, are generally poorly represented in current Earth System …
