Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) is out of equilibrium with the current anthropogenic‐
enhanced climate forcing. Paleoenvironmental records and ice sheet models reveal that the …

Abstract The Paris Agreement aims to limit global mean warming in the twenty-first century to
less than 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels, and to promote further efforts to limit …

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) …

Polar temperatures over the last several million years have, at times, been slightly warmer
than today, yet global mean sea level has been 6–9 metres higher as recently as the Last …

Dynamical changes in contemporary ice sheets account for significant proportions of their
current rates of mass loss, but assessing whether or not these processes are a natural part …

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 …

We compare the volume flux divergence of Antarctic ice shelves in 2007 and 2008 with 1979
to 2010 surface accumulation and 2003 to 2008 thinning to determine their rates of melting …

In recent decades, hundreds of glaciers draining the Antarctic Peninsula (63° to 70° S) have
undergone systematic and progressive change. These changes are widely attributed to …

In 1994, ocean measurements near Antarctica's Pine Island Glacier showed that the ice
shelf buttressing the glacier was melting rapidly. This melting was attributed to the presence …

The glaciers flowing into the Amundsen Sea Embayment, West Antarctica, have undergone
acceleration and grounding line retreat over the past few decades that may yield an …
