Antarctic sea ice over the past 130 000 years – Part 2: A review of its role in the Earth system

Antarctic sea-ice cover reached historically low levels in 2023, consistent with the simulated decline in sea-ice extent in response to anthropogenic warming. As Antarctic sea ice is closely linked to multiple components of the Earth system, its demise could precipitate widespread, cascading changes across the cryosphe...

Changes in Southern Ocean Circulation Across Climate Transitions and Their Impacts on Carbon and Heat Fluxes.

Today, the Southern Ocean (SO) is the primary sink of anthropogenic heat and carbon, yet anthropogenic warming and ozone depletion have altered its circulation and stratification, creating uncertainty about the persistence of this sink. Evidence from the last glacial period and deglaciation shows that the SO played a c...
