Lauren J. Vargo, Brian M. Anderson, Ruzica Dadić, Huw J. Horgan, Andrew N. Mackintosh, Andrew D. King, Andrew M. Lorrey
Nature Climate Change
Glacier mass balance is simulated using temperature and precipitation from multiple climate model ensembles. The authors estimate extreme mass loss was six (2011) and ten (2018) times more likely to occur with anthropogenic forcing than without.Read More →

A 40-y Record Reveals Gradual Antarctic Sea Ice Increases Followed by Decreases at Rates Far Exceeding the Rates Seen in the Arctic

July 2019
Claire L. Parkinson
Proceedings of the National Academy of Science of the United States of America (PNAS)
This analysis of 40 years of satellite records reveals a gradual increase in Antarctic sea ice which reversed in 2014. The rapid rates of decrease far exceed those in the Arctic and reduced the Antarctic sea ice to their lowest values in the record. Read More →
