Thermodynamic Control of Global Seasonal Snow Decline

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Seasonal snowfall is declining globally, yet the relative roles of precipitation variability versus warming‐induced phase transitions remain poorly quantified. We develop a physically based attribution framework that decomposes snowfall trends (1983–2023) into hydrological (precipitation‐driven) and thermodynamic (phase‐driven) components ...

Characteristics of ice rises and ice rumples in Dronning Maud Land and Enderby Land, Antarctica

Journal of Glaciology, 2020
Ice rises and rumples, locally grounded features adjacent to ice shelves, are relatively small yet play significant roles in Antarctic ice dynamics. Their roles generally depend upon their location within the ice shelf and the stage of the ice-sheet ...

Glacier‐Climate Feedbacks Modulate Last Glacial Maximum Dust Cycle Over the Third Pole

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Geological records indicate only a modest Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) increase in dust deposition over the Third Pole (TP), in contrast to the order‐of‐magnitude rise at high latitudes. Existing climate simulations, which generally prescribe present‐day or no TP glaciers, have struggled to reproduce this muted response.

Decadal GPS-derived ice surface velocity along the transect from Zhongshan Station to and around Dome Argus, East Antarctica, 2005–16

Annals of Glaciology, 2018
Using repeat GPS measurements during 2005–16, we calculated and updated two-dimensional high-resolution decadal ice surface velocity estimates along the traverse route from Zhongshan Station to and around Dome Argus, East Antarctica.

Does Polar Warming Asymmetry Exist in Bathy‐Planet Experiments?

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Ocean bathymetry and continental geometry shape ocean circulation, but whether these geographic constraints can sustain polar warming asymmetry in a fully coupled climate system remains unclear. Here we construct a fully coupled “bathy‐planet” configuration (BATHY), in which continental topography is removed and most land surfaces are replaced

Fourteen degrees of latitude and a continent apart: comparison of lichen activity over two years at continental and maritime Antarctic sites [PDF]

, 2010
There are marked declines in precipitation, mean temperatures and the number of lichen species with increasing latitude in Antarctica. However, it is not known which factors are the predominant controllers of biodiversity changes.

Mechanical analysis of pinning points in the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica

Annals of Glaciology, 2019
Ice shelves regulate the rate of ice-sheet discharge along much of the Antarctic coastline. Pinning points, sites of localised grounding within floating ice, can in turn, regulate the flow and thickness of an ice shelf.

On the glaciological, meteorological, and climatological significance of Antarctic blue ice areas [PDF]

Reviews of Geophysics, 1999
This paper presents the current state of our knowledge about Antarctic blue ice areas. Scattered widely over the Antarctic continent yet covering only approximately 1% of its surface area, blue ice areas have some peculiar characteristics that make them of particular interest for planetary geologists, glaciologists, meteorologists, and climatologists ...

Permafrost Degradation Drives Shifts in Chemostasis and Stream Geochemistry in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract In the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica's largest ice‐free area, the stream channels consist of rock and sediment that are underlain by permafrost. Substantial permafrost degradation and channel erosion occurred in January 2012 on the west branch of Crescent Stream, while the east branch remained unaffected.
