Antarctic Ice Sheet paleo-constraint database [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2023 We present a database of observational constraints on past Antarctic Ice Sheet changes during the last glacial cycle intended to consolidate the observations that represent our understanding of past Antarctic changes and for state-space estimation and ...

Research progress in geophysical exploration of the Antarctic ice sheet
Earthquake Research Advances, 2023 The Antarctic ice sheet is an important target of Antarctic research. Thickness and structure, including intraice and subice, are closely related to the mass balance of the ice sheet, and play an important role in the study of global sea level and ...

Economic impacts of melting of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2022 AbstractMelting of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) could contribute metres to global sea level rise (SLR) in the long run. We couple models of AIS melting due to rising temperatures, SLR, and economic impacts of SLR on coastlines worldwide. We report SLR projections close to the latest literature.

Solid Earth change and the evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 The evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is driven by a combination of climate forcing and non-climatic feedbacks. In this review, the authors focus on feedbacks between the Antarctic Ice Sheet and the solid Earth, and the role of these feedbacks in ...

From short-term uncertainties to long-term certainties in the future evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsRobust projections of future sea-level rise are essential for coastal adaptation, yet they remain hampered by uncertainties in Antarctic ice-sheet projections–the largest potential contributor to sea-level change under global warming.

Trends in Antarctic Ice Sheet Elevation and Mass. [PDF]
Geophys Res Lett, 2019 AbstractFluctuations in Antarctic Ice Sheet elevation and mass occur over a variety of time scales, owing to changes in snowfall and ice flow. Here we disentangle these signals by combining 25 years of satellite radar altimeter observations and a regional climate model.

Geologically constrained 2-million-year-long simulations of Antarctic Ice Sheet retreat and expansion through the Pliocene [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsPliocene global temperatures periodically exceeded modern levels, offering insights into ice sheet sensitivity to warm climates. Ice-proximal geologic records from this period provide crucial but limited glimpses of Antarctic Ice Sheet behavior.

The prescience of paleoclimatology and the future of the Antarctic ice sheet. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2018 The emerging view that the West Antarctic ice sheet is in the early stage of collapse owes as much to paleoclimatology as to contemporary observations.

The paradigm shift in Antarctic ice sheet modelling. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2018 The Antarctic ice sheet is one of the largest potential contributors to future sea level rise. Predicting its future behaviour using physically-based ice sheet models has been a bottleneck for the past decades, but major advances are ongoing.

Millennial‐Scale Vulnerability of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to Regional Ice Shelf Collapse
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) remains the largest uncertainty in projections of future sea level rise. A likely climate‐driven vulnerability of the AIS is thinning of floating ice shelves resulting from surface‐melt‐driven hydrofracture or incursion of ...
