An Unprecedented Record Low Antarctic Sea-ice Extent during Austral Summer 2022
This study assesses the causes behind the record low 2022 Antarctic sea-ice extent.Read More →
Intense atmospheric rivers can weaken ice shelf stability at the Antarctic Peninsula
This study shows that the most intense atmospheric rivers induce extremes in temperature, surface melt, sea-ice disintegration, or large swells that destabilize the ice shelves with 40% probability.Read More →

Timing of emergence of modern rates of sea-level rise by 1863
This study shows that globally, it is very likely that rates of sea-level rise emerged above pre-industrial rates by 1863 CE, which is similar in timing to evidence for early ocean warming and glacier melt.Read More →
