Ocean-driven melting of floating ice-shelves in the Amundsen Sea is currently the main process controlling Antarctica’s contribution to sea-level rise. Using a regional ocean model, we present a comprehensive suite of future projections of ice-shelf mel

Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) are the key species of the ecological system in the Cosmonaut Sea. Long-term habitat alterations in krill due to climate change have been considered in recent decades. However, there is still a lack understanding about krill distribution. The MaxEnt model was ...

Science: Climate changes in the past suggest that our climate reacts to energy input and output, such that if the planet accumulates more heat than it gives off global temperatures will rise. It's the driver of this heat imbalance that differs. You may like Climate change: Facts about our...

there is between the world as it is today and as it was during the last Ice Age.[3]In other words, when we came out of the Ice Age,the planet warmed by 5 degrees over about 5000 years. Modern climate change threatens to produce the same amount of a warming in as little as a ...
Forestation can be a valuable tool for mitigating climate change. Using an Earth System Model, Moustakis et al. show that ambitious deployment in the range of country pledges can mitigate global temperature under an overshoot pathway by 0.2 oC, but highlight the associated socioeconomic tradeof...
