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 …
Climate tipping points occur when change in a part of the climate system becomes self- perpetuating beyond a warming threshold, leading to substantial Earth system impacts …
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 …
Abstract The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) has its origins ca. 34 million years ago. Since then, the impact of climate change and past fluctuations in the EAIS margin has been …
Understanding ice sheet behaviour in the geological past is essential for evaluating the role of the cryosphere in the climate system and for projecting rates and magnitudes of sea level …
Abstract The Pliocene Epoch (∼ 5.3–2.6 million years ago, Ma) was characterized by a warmer than present climate with smaller Northern Hemisphere ice sheets, and offers an …
Sea level rise (SLR) is a long‐lasting consequence of climate change because global anthropogenic warming takes centuries to millennia to equilibrate for the deep ocean and …
Abstract The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) response to past warming consistent with the 1.5–2° C “safe limit” of the United Nations Paris Agreement is currently not well known. Empirical …
Studies of ancient sea levels provide insights into the mechanisms and rates of sea level changes due to tectonic processes (eg, ocean crust production) and climatic variations (eg …
