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 →
Mt. Everest’s highest glacier is a sentinel for accelerating ice loss
This study shows the significant and increasing role that melting and sublimation have on the mass loss of Mt. Everest’s highest glacier.Read More →

Thermokarst acceleration in Arctic tundra driven by climate change and fire disturbance
This study identifies climate change as the principal driver of all thermokarst formed during 1950–2015 and predicts that climate change and wildfire will synergistically accelerate thermokarst as the Arctic transitions in this century.Read More →

New climate models reveal faster and larger increases in Arctic precipitation than previously projected
This study demonstrates that the transition from a snow- to rain-dominated Arctic in the summer and autumn is projected to occur decades earlier and at a lower level of global warming than previously thought.Read More →
