Decadal trends in the properties of seawater adjacent to Antarctica are poorly known, and
the mechanisms responsible for such changes are uncertain. Antarctic ice sheet mass loss …

Even if anthropogenic warming were constrained to less than 2° C above pre-industrial, the
Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets will continue to lose mass this century, with rates similar …

Abstract Antarctic and Southern Ocean (ASO) marine ecosystems have been changing for at
least the last 30 years, including in response to increasing ocean temperatures and changes …

Several recent climate impact assessments on polar regions have been undertaken,
including the synthesis report on Snow, Water, Ice and Permafrost in the Arctic (AMAP …

The observed acceleration of ice shelf basal melt rates throughout West Antarctica could
destabilize continental ice sheets and markedly increase global sea level. Explanations for …

Iceberg calving from all Antarctic ice shelves has never been directly measured, despite
playing a crucial role in ice sheet mass balance. Rapid changes to iceberg calving naturally …

Abstract The Amundsen Sea sector is experiencing the largest mass loss, glacier
acceleration, and grounding line retreat in Antarctica. Enhanced intrusion of Circumpolar …

A quantitative assessment of observed and projected environmental changes in the
Southern Ocean (SO) with a potential impact on the marine ecosystem shows:(i) large …

Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is out of equilibrium with the current anthropogenic‐
enhanced climate forcing. Paleoenvironmental records and ice sheet models reveal that the …

The southern hemisphere westerly winds have been strengthening and shifting poleward
since the 1950s. This wind trend is projected to persist under continued anthropogenic …
