Global warming
The Arctic is at the forefront of global warming. More frequent and intense rain-on-snow events during winter are altering the annual snowpack with its environmental proxy records, so that Svalbard […] The post In-situ tracer percolation experiments to constrain the influence of near-surface melting on Svalbard snow signatures appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
Climate change driven release of methane (CH4) from polar and sub-polar sediments could accelerate global warming, and tracking CH4 in cold sediments over geological time helps predict future releases. Isotopic […] The post Ikaite precipitation indicates near surface occurrence of methane in an Icelandic fjord appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
Extreme environmental events (EEEs) in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean are occurring with growing frequency and severity, and will become more pronounced under continued global warming. Antarctic research relies on […] The post Antarctic science operations must account for climate change and extreme environmental events appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
We have conducted an ensemble of idealised climate overshoot simulations in a state-of-the-art Earth System Model in which global mean temperature is increased at a constant rate to global warming […] The post Response of ice sheets, sea-ice and sea level in climate stabilisation and reversibility simulations using a state-of-the-art Earth System Model appeared first…
