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 …

2 Chapter 2 assesses observed large-scale changes in climate system drivers, key climate
indicators and 3 principal modes of variability. Chapter 3 considers model performance and …

The present-day state and future of the Antarctic Ice Sheet depend on the rate at which the
ocean melts its fringing ice shelves. Ocean heat must cross many physical and dynamical …

Abstract The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) represents the world's largest ocean-
current system and affects global ocean circulation, climate and Antarctic ice-sheet stability …

The Antarctic Ice Sheet will play a crucial role in the evolution of global mean sea level as
the climate warms. An interactively coupled climate and ice sheet model is needed to …

The response of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) to climate change is the largest uncertainty in
projecting future sea level. The impact of three-dimensional (3D) Earth structure on the AIS …

A holistic review is given of the Southern Ocean dynamic system, in the context of the crucial
role it plays in the global climate and the profound changes it is experiencing. The review …

Abstract Knowledge of Antarctica's sedimentary basins builds our understanding of the
coupled evolution of tectonics, ice, ocean, and climate. Sedimentary basins have properties …

Sea-level rise projections rely on accurate predictions of ice mass loss from Antarctica.
Climate change promotes greater mass loss by destabilizing ice shelves and accelerating …

Sea-level budgets account for the contributions of processes driving sea-level change, but
are predominantly focused on global-mean sea level and limited to the 20th and 21st …
