Changing climate and rising seas: understanding the science [PDF]
An investigation of what is causing climate change and one of its major impacts – the rising level of the sea. Introduction The level of the sea is constantly changing everywhere on Earth as tides rise and fall in predictable patterns.

Airborne radar evidence for tributary flow switching in Institute Ice Stream, West Antarctica: implications for ice sheet configuration and dynamics [PDF]
Despite the importance of ice streaming to the evaluation of West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) stability we know little about mid- to long-term dynamic changes within the Institute Ice Stream (IIS) catchment.

Chlorine peroxide reaction explains observed wintertime hydrogen chloride in the Antarctic vortex
It is well established that the drastic ozone loss in the Antarctic stratosphere, commonly known as the ozone hole, is primarily driven by gas-phase and heterogeneous chemical processes. While chemistry transport models generally reproduce observed ozone

Improving the spatial distribution of modeled Arctic sea ice thickness
The spatial distribution of ice thickness/draft in the Arctic Ocean is examined using a sea ice model. A comparison of model predictions with submarine observations of sea ice draft made during cruises between 1987 and 1997 reveals that the model has the

Uncertainty estimation of aerosol properties from a Vaisala CT25k ceilometer based on in situ aerosol measurements [PDF]
In recent years, the use of automatic lidars and ceilometers (ALC) for atmospheric research has increased. Originally, these instruments were developed to measure cloud base height automatically, utilising the LIDAR principle.

Dissolved organic carbon loss from Yedoma permafrost amplified by ice wedge thaw [PDF]
Pleistocene Yedoma permafrost contains nearly a third of all organic matter (OM) stored in circum-arctic permafrost and is characterized by the presence of massive ice wedges.

Reconstruction of ice-sheet changes in the Antarctic Peninsula since the Last Glacial Maximum [PDF]
This paper compiles and reviews marine and terrestrial data constraining the dimensions and configuration of the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet (APIS) from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) through deglaciation to the present day.
