Uncertainty quantification of the multi-centennial response of the Antarctic ice sheet to climate change [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2019
Ice loss from the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) is expected to become the major contributor to sea level in the next centuries. Projections of the AIS response to climate change based on numerical ice-sheet models remain challenging due to the complexity of ...

New geochronological constraints on Late Pleistocene glaciation in the southern Cadí Massif, SE Pyrenees

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Cadí Massif (42°17′09″ N, 1°38′11″ E; 2649 m a.s.l.) in the southeastern Pyrenees preserves clear evidence of Late Pleistocene glaciation, although previous research has focused almost exclusively on its northern slope. By contrast, the southern slope has remained largely unexplored.

Depositional and Hydrological Relationships Between Buried Dead Ice and the Active Layer in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica: A Study of Sediment Geochemistry and Cation Concentrations

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The McMurdo Dry Valleys, the largest ice‐free region in Antarctica, are home to a cold‐desert hydrologic system of glaciers, snowbanks, streams, and lakes. Freshwater is also stored as dead glacial ice, which is poorly constrained in terms of ion concentrations and interactions with both in situ and overlying sediments.

The glacial geomorphology of the Antarctic ice sheet bed [PDF]

Antarctic Science, 2014
AbstractIn 1976, David Sugden and Brian John developed a classification for Antarctic landscapes of glacial erosion based upon exposed and eroded coastal topography, providing insight into the past glacial dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheets. We extend this classification to cover the continental interior of Antarctica by analysing the hypsometry of ...

Body Size Regulates Niche Overlap Asymmetry in the Subtropical Andes Rain Shadow: Isotopic Paleoecology of Oligocene South American Ungulates

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

Antarctic Ice Sheet melting in the southeast Pacific [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 1996
The first oceanographic measurements across a deep channel beneath the calving front of Pine Island Glacier reveal a sub‐ice circulation driven by basal melting of 10–12 m yr−1. A salt box model described here gives a melt rate similar to that of ice balance and numerical models, 5–50 times higher than averages for the George VI and Ross Ice Shelves ...

Palaeoenvironmental and climatic changes from the lateglacial of the Saalian to the Late Weichselian in central Poland: a multiproxy study from Józefów

Boreas, EarlyView.
Józefów site is a case study which provides a detailed record of environmental and climate changes and confirms the main traces of the landscape morphogenesis of the Late Pleistocene established in central‐eastern Europe. This study presents a multiproxy reconstruction of palaeoenvironment under variable climatic conditions from the retreat of the ...

Outbursts from an ice-marginal lake in Antarctica in 1969–1971 and 2017, revealed by aerial photographs and satellite data

Scientific Reports, 2023
The liquid water around the Antarctic Ice Sheet plays a key role in modulating both the vulnerability of ice shelves to hydrofracturing and ice discharge from outlet glaciers.

Antarctic Ice Sheet fertilises the Southern Ocean [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2013
Abstract. Southern Ocean (SO) marine primary productivity (PP) is strongly influenced by the availability of iron in surface waters, which is thought to exert a significant control upon atmospheric CO2 concentrations on glacial/interglacial timescales. The zone bordering the Antarctic Ice Sheet exhibits high PP and seasonal plankton blooms in response ...

Triple Oxygen Isotope Compositions of Isotopic Reference Waters: Implications for VSMOW‐Scale and VSMOW–SLAP‐Scale Δ′17O Calibration

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.
Key Points Triple oxygen isotope ratios of two primary (VSMOW, SLAP) and twelve secondary water isotopic reference materials were precisely measured using BrF5 fluorination‐IRMS. The measured Δ'17OVSMOW value for SLAP (34 ± 6 per meg) demonstrates that VSMOW‐SLAP normalisation ensures interlaboratory comparability, but introduces systematic offsets for
