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 …

The deep ocean below 200 m water depth is the least observed, but largest habitat on our
planet by volume and area. Over 150 years of exploration has revealed that this dynamic …

Improved knowledge of glacial-to-interglacial global temperature change yields Charney
(fast-feedback) equilibrium climate sensitivity 1.2±0.3° C (2σ) per W/m2, which is 4.8° C±1.2° …

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 …

Abstract Meltwater from the Antarctic Ice Sheet is projected to cause up to one metre of sea-
level rise by 2100 under the highest greenhouse gas concentration trajectory (RCP8. 5) …

The circulation of the Southern Ocean connects ocean basins, links the deep and shallow
layers of the ocean, and has a strong influence on global ocean circulation, climate …

Abstract The Southern Ocean, although relatively understudied owing to its harsh
environment and geographical isolation, has been shown to contribute substantially to …

Abstract Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) supplies the lower limb of the global overturning
circulation, ventilates the abyssal ocean and sequesters heat and carbon on multidecadal to …

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 …

Animal telemetry is a powerful tool for observing marine animals and the physical
environments that they inhabit, from coastal and continental shelf ecosystems to polar seas …
