From:Climate of the Past (Vol. 18, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedEnvironmental conditions during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e (130-116 ka) represent an important "process analogue" for understanding the climatic responses to present and future anthropogenic warming. The response of...

From:Climate of the Past (Vol. 17, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedThe importance of Antarctic sea ice and Southern Ocean warming has come into the focus of polar research during the last couple of decades. Especially around West Antarctica, where warm water masses approach the...

From:The Cryosphere (Vol. 14, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThe Antarctic ice sheet extent in the Weddell Sea embayment (WSE) during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; ca. 19-25 calibrated kiloyears before present, ka cal BP) and its subsequent retreat from the shelf...

From:Nature (Vol. 547, Issue 7661) Peer-ReviewedGlaciological and oceanographic observations coupled with numerical models show that warm Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) incursions onto the West Antarctic continental shelf cause melting of the undersides of floating ice...

From:The Cryosphere (Vol. 14, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedThe geometry of the sea floor immediately beyond Antarctica's marine-terminating glaciers is a fundamental control on warm-water routing, but it also describes former topographic pinning points that have been important...

From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 12, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedPrecise knowledge about the extent of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; c. 26.5-19 cal. ka BP) is important in order to 1) improve paleo-ice sheet reconstructions, 2) provide a robust...

From:The Cryosphere (Vol. 12, Issue 7) Peer-Reviewed
The East Antarctic Ice Sheet discharges into the Weddell Sea via the Coats Land ice margin. We have used geophysical data to determine the changing ice-sheet configuration in this region through its last glacial...

From:The Cryosphere (Vol. 13, Issue 6) Peer-Reviewed
Basal hydrological systems play an important role in controlling the dynamic behaviour of ice streams. Data showing their morphology and relationship to geological substrates beneath modern ice streams are, however,...

From:Nature (Vol. 580, Issue 7801) Peer-ReviewedThe mid-Cretaceous period was one of the warmest intervals of the past 140 million years.sup.1-5, driven by atmospheric carbon dioxide levels of around 1,000 parts per million by volume.sup.6. In the near absence of...

From:Earth System Science Data (Vol. 12, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedA valuable analogue for assessing Earth's sensitivity to warming is the Last Interglacial (LIG; 129-116 ka), when global temperatures (0 to +2 .sup." C) and mean sea level (+6 to 11 m) were higher than today. The direct...

From:Biogeosciences (Vol. 18, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedThe West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is one of the largest potential sources of future sea-level rise, with glaciers draining the WAIS thinning at an accelerating rate over the past 40 years. Due to complexities in...
