Over the modern satellite era, substantial climatic changes have been observed in the
Antarctic, including atmospheric and oceanic warming, ice sheet thinning and a general …

Abstract The Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) is a coherent circulation feature that rings the
Antarctic continental shelf and regulates the flow of water toward the Antarctic coastline. The …

This chapter assesses the state of physical, biological and social knowledge concerning the
Arctic and Antarctic ocean and cryosphere, how they are affected by climate change, and …

Recent ice loss from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has been caused by ocean melting of ice
shelves in the Amundsen Sea. Eastward wind anomalies at the shelf break enhance the …

Accurate prediction of global sea-level rise requires that we understand the cause of recent,
widespread and intensifying, glacier acceleration along Antarctic ice-sheet coastal margins …

Mass loss from the Amundsen Sea sector of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has increased in
recent decades, suggestive of sustained ocean forcing or an ongoing, possibly unstable …

Understanding the causes of recent climatic trends and variability in the high-latitude
Southern Hemisphere is hampered by a short instrumental record. Here, we analyse recent …

We present an update of the 'key points' from the Antarctic Climate Change and the
Environment (ACCE) report that was published by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic …

Pine Island Glacier has thinned and accelerated over recent decades, significantly
contributing to global sea-level rise. Increased oceanic melting of its ice shelf is thought to …

Over the past 37 years, satellite records show an increase in Antarctic sea ice cover that is
most pronounced in the period of sea ice growth. This trend is dominated by increased sea …
