Holocene polynya dynamics and their interaction with oceanic heat transport in northernmost Baffin Bay [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Baffin Bay hosts the largest and most productive of the Arctic polynyas: the North Water (NOW). Despite its significance and active role in water mass formation, the history of the NOW beyond the observational era remains poorly known.

10,000 years of centennially-resolved climate and sea-level change archived in Svalbard beach-ridge system [PDF]
Scientific ReportsOver the last 10,000 years, no fewer than 178 beach-ridges were formed and preserved at Bjonasletta in central Spitsbergen, recording shifts in relative sea-level and fluctuations in glacier- and sea ice extent.

Lacustrine sedimentation patterns at the Northern Antarctic Peninsula and surroundings as a response to late Holocene and Modern Climate changes [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe Northern Antarctic Peninsula (NAP) and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) are likely to respond rapidly to climate changes by increasing the collapse of peripheral ice shelves and the number of days above 0 °C.

Precipitation drives western Patagonian glacier variability and may curb future ice mass loss [PDF]
Scientific ReportsTwo-thirds of all glaciers worldwide are projected to disappear by 2100 CE. Large uncertainties however remain in maritime settings, where some glaciers have recently gained mass in response to increased snowfall.

Duration and ice thickness of a Late Holocene outlet glacier advance near Narsarsuaq, southern Greenland [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2023 Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) outlet glaciers are currently losing mass, leading to sea level rise. Reconstructions of past outlet glacier behavior through the Holocene help us better understand how they respond to climate change.

Last Glacial Maximum to Holocene paleoceanography of the northwestern Ross Sea inferred from sediment core geochemistry and micropaleontology at Hallett Ridge [PDF]
Journal of Micropalaeontology, 2021 During the Late Pleistocene–Holocene, the Ross Sea Ice Shelf exhibited strong spatial variability in relation to the atmospheric and oceanographic climatic variations.

Neoglacial trends in diatom dynamics from a small alpine lake in the Qinling mountains of central China [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2020 During the latter stages of the Holocene, and prior to anthropogenic global warming, the Earth underwent a period of cooling called the neoglacial.

Multiproxy evidence of the Neoglacial expansion of Atlantic Water to eastern Svalbard [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2020 The main goal of this study is to reconstruct the paleoceanographic development of Storfjorden during the Neoglacial (∼4 cal ka BP).
