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 …

Most of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are covered with firn—the transitional
material between snow and glacial ice. Firn is vital for understanding ice-sheet mass …

The disintegration of the ice shelves along the Antarctic Peninsula have spurred much
discussion on the various processes leading to their eventual dramatic collapse, but without …

Abstract The Antarctic Peninsula (AP) experienced a new extreme warm event and record-
high surface melt in February 2022, rivaling the recent temperature records from 2015 and …

Surface melting occurs across many of Antarctica's ice shelves, mainly during the austral
summer. The onset, duration, area and fate of surface melting varies spatially and …

Climate warming is causing an increase in the frequency and severity of heatwaves and
extreme precipitation events, posing a threat to both socioeconomic stability and human …

Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) mass loss is predominantly driven by increased solid ice discharge,
but its variability is governed by surface processes. Snowfall fluctuations control the surface …

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are efficient mechanisms for transporting atmospheric moisture
from low latitudes to the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS). While AR events occur infrequently, they …

The benthic community around Antarctica is diverse and highly endemic. These cold-
adapted species are under threat from local and global drivers, including warming …

While the influence of surface melt on Antarctic ice shelf stability can be large, the duration
and affected area of melt events are often small. Therefore, melt events are difficult to …
