Responses and impacts of atmospheric rivers to climate change
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are characterized by intense moisture transport, which, on landfall,
produce precipitation which can be both beneficial and destructive. ARs in California, for …

Antarctic atmospheric river climatology and precipitation impacts
The Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) is sensitive to short‐term extreme meteorological events that
can leave long‐term impacts on the continent's surface mass balance (SMB). We investigate …

The uncertain future of the Antarctic Ice Sheet
F Pattyn, M Morlighem - Science, 2020 - science.org
The Antarctic Ice Sheet is losing mass at an accelerating pace, and ice loss will likely
continue over the coming decades and centuries. Some regions of the ice sheet may reach …
