A review of recent changes in Southern Ocean sea ice, their drivers and forcings
Over the past 37 years, satellite records show an increase in Antarctic sea ice cover that is
most pronounced in the period of sea ice growth. This trend is dominated by increased sea …

The sensitivity of the Antarctic ice sheet to a changing climate: Past, present, and future
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 …

West Antarctic ice loss influenced by internal climate variability and anthropogenic forcing
Recent ice loss from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has been caused by ocean melting of ice
shelves in the Amundsen Sea. Eastward wind anomalies at the shelf break enhance the …

Continued retreat of Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica, controlled by bed topography and ocean circulation
Abstract The Amundsen Sea sector is experiencing the largest mass loss, glacier
acceleration, and grounding line retreat in Antarctica. Enhanced intrusion of Circumpolar …

Freshening by glacial meltwater enhances melting of ice shelves and reduces formation of Antarctic Bottom Water
Strong heat loss and brine release during sea ice formation in coastal polynyas act to cool
and salinify waters on the Antarctic continental shelf. Polynya activity thus both limits the …

Decadal ocean forcing and Antarctic ice sheet response: Lessons from the Amundsen Sea
Mass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet is driven by changes at the marine margins. In the
Amundsen Sea, thinning of the ice shelves has allowed the outlet glaciers to accelerate and …

Baroclinic ocean response to climate forcing regulates decadal variability of ice‐shelf melting in the Amundsen Sea
Warm ocean waters drive rapid ice‐shelf melting in the Amundsen Sea. The ocean heat
transport toward the ice shelves is associated with the Amundsen Undercurrent, a near …
