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 …

On the reconstruction of palaeo-ice sheets: recent advances and future challenges
Reconstructing the growth and decay of palaeo-ice sheets is critical to understanding
mechanisms of global climate change and associated sea-level fluctuations in the past …

Rapid retreat of Thwaites Glacier in the pre-satellite era
Understanding the recent history of Thwaites Glacier, and the processes controlling its
ongoing retreat, is key to projecting Antarctic contributions to future sea-level rise. Of …

Southward migration of the Southern Hemisphere westerly winds corresponds with warming climate over centennial timescales
Recent changes in the strength and location of the Southern Hemisphere westerly winds
(SHW) have been linked to continental droughts and wildfires, changes in the Southern …

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 …

West Antarctic Ice Sheet retreat driven by Holocene warm water incursions
Glaciological and oceanographic observations coupled with numerical models show that
warm Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) incursions onto the West Antarctic continental shelf …

Today, relatively warm Circumpolar Deep Water is melting Thwaites Glacier at the base of its
ice shelf and at the grounding zone, contributing to significant ice retreat. Accelerating ice …

Stability of the Antarctic Ice Sheet during the pre-industrial Holocene
The rate and magnitude of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) contribution to global sea-level rise
beyond 2100 ce remains highly uncertain. Past changes of the AIS, however, offer …
