Coupled climate‐ice‐sheet modeling is still in its developing stage, and feedback processes between ice sheets and climate are still not yet fully understood.

Abstract The drawdown of atmospheric CO2 likely triggered Antarctic glaciation during the Eocene‐Oligocene Transition (34 Ma). Accurately constraining this shift from “greenhouse” to an “icehouse” climate is essential for understanding global carbon cycle dynamics.

Abstract Perchlorate (ClO4−) in polar ice preserves past chlorine oxidation chemistry; however, multi‐centennial Antarctic ClO4− records and the mechanisms controlling their variability remain poorly constrained. Here, we present the first 400‐year (1616−2016) ClO4− record from an Antarctic ice core, revealing two regimes separated around 1980.

Observational Constraints on Sea Salt Contribution to CCN Over the Southern Ocean
Abstract Earth system models exhibit persistent biases in simulating cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) over the Southern Ocean and Antarctica, largely due to inadequate representation of aerosol sources. Here, we present year‐round (January 2023–February 2024) measurements of aerosol hygroscopicity (HTDMA), particle number size distribution (SMPS), and ...

State of Balance of the Ice Sheet in the Antarctic Peninsula [PDF]
Data from ice rises on the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula can be interpreted as showing that the ice is thinning at rates of up 0.5 m a−1. However, a level line between two nunataks in Palmer Land showed no change in surface elevation over a period of 5 a.

Abstract Longwave cloud radiative effects significantly influence variability in global and regional Earth systems. However, there have been very few, if any, measurements of the far‐infrared (FIR) radiation over the polar regions, where about half of the outgoing longwave radiation is in the FIR spectrum. This motivated the Polar Radiant Energy in the

The Impact of Fronts and Eddies Under Various Melt Conditions on Antarctic Ice Shelves
Abstract Ocean eddies are observed beneath Antarctic ice shelves, yet their role in regulating basal melting remains unclear. We use nonhydrostatic Large‐Eddy Simulations that resolve eddies and boundary‐layer turbulence to examine a baroclinically unstable salinity front that breaks into eddies.

Disentangling the drivers of future Antarctic ice loss with a historically calibrated ice-sheet model [PDF]
We use an observationally calibrated ice-sheet model to investigate the future trajectory of the Antarctic ice sheet related to uncertainties in the future balance between sub-shelf melting and ice discharge, on the one hand, and the surface mass balance,

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

Uncertainty in Antarctic precipitation projections under global warming
The Antarctic Ice Sheet is a critical driver of global sea level rise, yet future projections of Antarctic precipitation remain highly uncertain, posing challenges to modeling ice sheet changes.
