The decline in the floating sea ice cover in the Arctic is one of the most striking
manifestations of climate change. In this review, we examine this ongoing loss of Arctic sea …

The areal extent, concentration and thickness of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean and adjacent
seas have strongly decreased during the recent decades, but cold, snow-rich winters have …

From 2007 to 2013, the globally averaged mole fraction of methane in the atmosphere
increased by 5.7±1.2 ppb yr− 1. Simultaneously, δ13CCH4 (a measure of the 13C/12C …

The Arctic has seen rapid sea-ice decline in the past three decades, whilst warming at about
twice the global average rate. Yet the relationship between Arctic warming and sea-ice loss …

Tipping elements are components of the Earth system which may respond nonlinearly to
anthropogenic climate change by transitioning toward substantially different long‐term …

The sequence of extreme September sea ice extent minima over the past decade suggests
