Sudden increase in Antarctic sea ice: Fact or artifact? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Copyright © 2011 American Geophysical UnionThree sea ice data sets commonly used for climate research display a large and abrupt increase in Antarctic sea ice area (SIA) in recent years.

Supercooling of Alaskan Beetle Larvae as a Winter Survival Strategy

open access: yesSmall Science, EarlyView.
Dehydrated Alaskan beetle larvae in Fairbanks, Alaska, adhere to the bark of trees that are embedded in ice in their natural winter microhabitat (bottom). This enables their bodies to deeply supercool and avoid freezing, in contrast to their fully hydrated summer form (top).

Understanding Observed and Projected Climate Changes in the Antarctic, and their Global Impacts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The Antarctic climate has undergone complex changes over the last fifty years, driven largely by stratospheric ozone depletion. By the end of this century, under the current trajectory of anthropogenic emissions, the climate of Antarctica is projected to

A High‐Resolution Microscopy System for Biological Studies of Cold‐Adapted Species Under Physiological Conditions

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
Regions of the world permanently below 5 °C harbor significant biodiversity and understudied molecular mechanisms. This knowledge gap originates from the requirement for high‐resolution microscopy methods that maintain cold sample conditions while achieving subcellular resolution.

Cool episodes in the Late Cretaceous - exploring the effects of physical forcing on Antarctic snow accumulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Until recently it was assumed that the major modern ice sheets on Antarctica became established around the Eocene-Oligocene boundary about 34 Ma ago. But new evidence (e.g.

Modelling ice dynamic contributions to sea level rise from the Antarctic Peninsula [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The future ice dynamical contribution to sea-level rise (SLR) from 210 ice shelf nourishing drainage basins of the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet (APIS) is simulated, using the British Antarctic Survey Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet Model.

Understanding Sea Ice Melting via Functional Data Analysis [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
In this article, we considered the problem of sea ice cover is melting. Considering the `satellite passive microwave remote sensing data' as functional data, we studied daily observation of sea ice cover of each year as a smooth continuous function of time.

Sea-level constraints on the amplitude and source distribution of Meltwater Pulse 1A. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
During the last deglaciation, sea levels rose as ice sheets retreated. This climate transition was punctuated by periods of more intense melting; the largest and most rapid of these—Meltwater Pulse 1A—occurred about 14,500 years ago, with rates of sea ...

Antarctic ice sheet - climate feedbacks under high future carbon emissions [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Freshwater forcing from a retreating Antarctic Ice Sheet could have a wide range of impacts on future global climate. Here, we report on multi-century (present-2250) climate simulations performed using a fully coupled numerical model integrated under future greenhouse gas emissions scenarios IPCC RCP4.5 and 8.5, with meltwater discharge provided by a ...
