BACKGROUND Effects of recent global warming have been documented in every biome on
Earth. Safeguarding biodiversity and ecosystem services against future impacts requires …

BACKGROUND Although thermal expansion of seawater and melting of mountain glaciers
have dominated global mean sea level (GMSL) rise over the last century, mass loss from the …

DNA obtained from environmental samples such as sediments, ice or water (environmental
DNA, eDNA), represents an important source of information on past and present biodiversity …

Past interglacial climates with smaller ice sheets offer analogs for ice sheet response to
future warming and contributions to sea level rise; however, well-dated geologic records …

Over the past 3.5 million years, there have been several intervals when climate conditions
were warmer than during the pre-industrial Holocene. Although past intervals of warming …

At the close of the Fourth International Polar Year, we take stock of the ecological
consequences of recent climate change in the Arctic, focusing on effects at population …

The reliability of Arctic climate predictions is currently hampered by insufficient knowledge of
natural climate variability in the past. A sediment core from Lake El'gygytgyn in northeastern …

Interglacials, including the present (Holocene) period, are warm, low land ice extent (high
sea level), end‐members of glacial cycles. Based on a sea level definition, we identify …

Polar bears are uniquely adapted to life in the High Arctic and have undergone drastic
physiological changes in response to Arctic climates and a hyperlipid diet of primarily …
