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 …

The Pliocene climate is globally warm and characterised by high atmospheric carbon
dioxide concentrations, yet the terrestrial and marine scientific communities have gathered …

Glaciers and Glaciation is the classic textbook for all students of glaciation. Stimulating and
accessible, it has established a reputation as a comprehensive and essential resource. In …

Antarctica is the largest reservoir of ice on Earth. Understanding its ice sheet dynamics is
crucial to unraveling past global climate change and making robust climatic and sea level …

Accurate models of past Antarctic ice sheet behaviour require realistic reconstructions of the
evolution of bedrock topography. However, other than a preliminary attempt to reconstruct …

Geological data indicate that there were major variations in Antarctic ice sheet volume and
extent during the early to mid-Miocene. Simulating such large-scale changes is problematic …

The influence of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean on Late Pliocene global climate
reconstructions has remained ambiguous due to a lack of well-dated Antarctic-proximal …

Closed topographic basins are found beneath contemporary ice masses and within the
footprint of former ice masses in all glaciated regions. We present the first integrated review …

The extent and thickness of Antarctic sea ice have important climatic effects on radiation
balance, energy transfer between the atmosphere and ocean, and moisture availability. This …

Once thought to be devoid of life, the Antarctic Ice Sheet is now known to be a dynamic
reservoir of organic carbon and metabolically active microbial cells. At the ice-bed interface …
