Central West Antarctica among the most rapidly warming regions on Earth

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is contributing to sea-level rise, but temperature trends in the region have remained uncertain. A complete temperature record for Byrd Station in central West Antarctica, spanning from 1958 to 2010, establishes West Antarctica as one of the fastest-warming regions globally.

Ross Ice Shelf response to climate driven by the tectonic imprint on seafloor bathymetry

Windblown Pliocene diatoms and East Antarctic Ice Sheet retreat

A long-standing debate regarding the Pliocene history of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet was spurred by the discovery of marine diatoms in the Transantarctic Mountains. Here the authors show that the diatoms were emplaced by wind following a retreat of the ice sheet into coastal basins and subsequent isostatic emergence.

Onset of deglacial warming in West Antarctica driven by local orbital forcing

An annually resolved ice-core record from West Antarctica indicates that warming driven by local insolation resulting from sea-ice decline began in that region about 2,000 years before warming in East Antarctica, reconciling two alternative explanations for deglacial warming in the Southern Hemisphere.

Warming of the Antarctic ice-sheet surface since the 1957 International Geophysical Year

The Antarctic Peninsula is known to be warming rapidly, but the overall pattern of climate change for the full Antarctic continent has been uncertain. This work finds that the entire continent is warming at a rate of 0.12 ± 0.07 °C per decade, with stronger warming in winter and spring and over West Antarctica.

Fragmentation of active continental plate margins owing to the buoyancy of the mantle wedge

The evolution of Cordilleran-type orogens is controlled by a balance between forces that result in uplift and forces that destabilize the crustal growth. Numerical modelling indicates that the buoyancy of the underlying mantle wedge is an important factor in the collapse and fragmentation of Cordilleran orogens.

Influence of persistent wind scour on the surface mass balance of Antarctica

In the Antarctic interior, assessments of surface mass balance may overestimate accumulation because high winds remove some of the annual snowfall. Geophysical observations reveal localized zones of persistent wind scour (where little or no snow accumulates) that are predicted to occur across approximately 5% of the Antarctic surface.

Permafrost thawing as a possible source of abrupt carbon release at the onset of the Bølling/Allerød

Ice core records show evidence for an abrupt, and thus far unexplained, increase in atmospheric CO₂ levels ~14,600 years ago. Here, the authors combine ice core data, a precisely dated decline in atmospheric ¹⁴C and numerical simulations, and propose thawing permafrost as a possible source of this event.

Whether changes in atmospheric circulation over West Antarctica during the past few decades are part of a longer-term trend is unclear. Ice cores reveal a significant increase in the oxygen isotopes from precipitation over the past 50 years, but the anomaly cannot be distinguished from natural climate variability.
