The seasonality of Antarctic sea ice trends [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2014 AbstractAntarctic sea ice is experiencing a weak overall increase in area that is the residual of opposing regional trends. This study considers their seasonal pattern. In addition to traditional ice concentration and total ice area, temporal derivatives of these quantities are investigated (“intensification” and “expansion,” respectively).

Periglacial Vegetation‐Banked Terraces: A Global Survey
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Periglacial vegetation‐banked terraces (VBTs) are roughly parallel, step‐like landforms with bare treads and vegetated risers, where tread length (across‐slope) markedly exceeds tread width (downslope). Many follow the contour, but others dip off‐contour at angles of up to 40°.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Marine winds near coastal Antarctica are important for sea‐ice variability and ocean circulation. We test the sensitivity of simulated winds to varying uncertain aspects of the atmospheric model configuration. Winds (each configuration a coloured solid line in the figure) are sensitive to model physics, and notably we find that wind stress over a ...

Communications Earth & EnvironmentThe Antarctic ice-sheet could have contributed 3 to 5 m sea-level equivalent to the Last Interglacial sea-level highstand. Such an Antarctic ice-mass loss compared to pre-industrial requires a subsurface warming on the Antarctic shelf of ~ 3 °C according

Recent observations of Antarctic sea‐ice [PDF]
Weather, 1999 Antarctic sea-ice is potentially one of the most sensitive global warming indicators. Some re- cent studies using coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation models suggest that C0,- induced warming and concomitant sea-ice re- duction might be less marked than in the Arctic (Gordon and O’Farrell 1997); certainly the ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study analyzed the impact of two mesoscale cyclones on the meteorology and glaciology of South Shetland Islands (SSI) glaciers, using in‐situ observations, ERA5 reanalysis data, and high‐resolution weather and glacier mass balance models. Mesoscale cyclones drive temperature drops, heavy snowfall, and strong winds over the SSI, significantly ...

A Bayesian Model for 20th Century Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Reconstruction
Earth and Space ScienceAntarctic sea ice, a key component in the complex Antarctic climate system, is an important driver and indicator of the global climate. In the relatively short satellite‐observed period from 1979 to 2022 the sea ice extent has continuously increased ...

Understanding place attachment to remote environments: An Antarctic case study
Geographical Research, EarlyView.Abstract The Anthropocene presents unique challenges for humanity’s relationship with remote environments. Transboundary environmental problems, such as climate change or plastics pollution, affect places that are beyond most people’s direct experience.

The association of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba with the under-ice habitat.
PLoS ONE, 2012 The association of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba with the under-ice habitat was investigated in the Lazarev Sea (Southern Ocean) during austral summer, autumn and winter.
