Response of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet to past and future climate change
Abstract The East Antarctic Ice Sheet contains the vast majority of Earth's glacier ice (about
52 metres sea-level equivalent), but is often viewed as less vulnerable to global warming …

Absence of 21st century warming on Antarctic Peninsula consistent with natural variability
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 …

Climate change drives expansion of Antarctic ice-free habitat
Antarctic terrestrial biodiversity occurs almost exclusively in ice-free areas that cover less
than 1% of the continent. Climate change will alter the extent and configuration of ice-free …
