Attributing long-term sea-level rise to Paris Agreement emission pledges

November 2019
Alexander Nauels, Johannes Gütschow, Matthias Mengel, Malte Meinshausen, Peter U. Clark, and Carl-Friedrich Schleussner
PNAS
This study uses GMSLR modeling that can handle emission scenarios flexibly to establish the link between pledged NDC emissions and GMSLR until 2300, thus highlighting the longer-term climate change implications of current climate mitigation efforts.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 →
