No respite from permafrost-thaw impacts in the absence of a global tip** point
Arctic permafrost, the largest non-seasonal component of Earth's cryosphere, contains a
substantial climate-sensitive carbon pool. The existence of a global tip** point, a warming …

Accelerating glacier volume loss on Juneau Icefield driven by hypsometry and melt-accelerating feedbacks
Globally, glaciers and icefields contribute significantly to sea level rise. Here we show that
ice loss from Juneau Icefield, a plateau icefield in Alaska, accelerated after 2005 AD. Rates …

The increasingly dominant role of climate change on length of day variations
The melting of ice sheets and global glaciers results in sea-level rise, a pole-to-equator
mass transport increasing Earth's oblateness and resulting in an increase in the length of …

Ocean warming drives immediate mass loss from calving glaciers in the high Arctic
Glaciers in the Arctic have lost considerable mass during the last two decades. About a third
of the glaciers by area drains into the ocean, yet the mechanisms and drivers governing …
