Journal Article
Cook, A., Copland, L., Noel, B., Stokes, C., Bentley, M., Sharp, M., …van den Broeke, M. (2019). Atmospheric forcing of rapid marine-terminating glacier retreat in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Science Advances, 5(3), Article eaau8507. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aau8507

The Canadian Arctic Archipelago contains >300 glaciers that terminate in the ocean, but little is known about changes in their frontal positions in response to recent changes in the ocean-climate system. Here, we examine changes in glacier frontal po... Read More about Atmospheric forcing of rapid marine-terminating glacier retreat in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.

A complete glacier inventory of the Antarctic Peninsula based on Landsat 7 images from 2000 to 2002 and other preexisting data sets (2017)
Journal Article

The glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) potentially make a large contribution to sea level rise. However, this contribution has been difficult to estimate since no complete glacier inventory (outlines, attributes, separation from the ice sheet)...

Ocean forcing of glacier retreat in the western Antarctic Peninsula (2016)
Journal Article
Cook, A., Holland, P., Meredith, M., Murray, T., Luckman, A., & Vaughan, D. (2016). Ocean forcing of glacier retreat in the western Antarctic Peninsula. Science, 353(6296), 283-286. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aae0017

In recent decades, hundreds of glaciers draining the Antarctic Peninsula (63° to 70°S) have undergone systematic and progressive change. These changes are widely attributed to rapid increases in regional surface air temperature, but it is now clear t...

Temperature and Wind Climate of the Antarctic Peninsula as Simulated by a High-Resolution Regional Atmospheric Climate Model (2015)
Journal Article

Temperature and Wind Climate of the Antarctic Peninsula as Simulated by a High-Resolution Regional Atmospheric Climate Model. Journal of Climate, 28(18), 7306-7326. https://doi.org/10.1175/jcli-d-15-0060.1

The latest polar version of the Regional Atmospheric Climate Model (RACMO2.3) has been applied to the Antarctic Peninsula (AP). In this study, the authors present results of a climate run at 5.5 km for the period 1979–2013, in which RACMO2.3 is force...

Brief Communication: Newly developing rift in Larsen C Ice Shelf presents significant risk to stability (2015)
Journal Article

An established rift in the Larsen C Ice Shelf, formerly constrained by a suture zone containing marine ice, grew rapidly during 2014 and is likely in the near future to generate the largest calving event since the 1980s and result in a new minimum ar...

Detailed ice loss pattern in the northern Antarctic Peninsula: widespread decline driven by ice front retreats (2014)
Journal Article
Scambos, T., Berthier, E., Haran, T., Shuman, C., Cook, A., Ligtenberg, S., & Bohlander, J. (2014). Detailed ice loss pattern in the northern Antarctic Peninsula: widespread decline driven by ice front retreats. The Cryosphere, 8(6), 2135-2145. https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-8-2135-2014

The northern Antarctic Peninsula (nAP, < 66° S) is one of the most rapidly changing glaciated regions on earth, yet the spatial patterns of its ice mass loss at the glacier basin scale have to date been poorly documented. We use satellite laser altim... Read More about Detailed ice loss pattern in the northern Antarctic Peninsula: widespread decline driven by ice front retreats.

A new Antarctic Peninsula glacier basin inventory and observed area changes since the 1940s (2014)
Journal Article

Glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsula have recently shown changes in extent, velocity and thickness, yet there is little quantification of change in the mass balance of individual glaciers or the processes controlling changes in extent. Here a high-res... Read More about A new Antarctic Peninsula glacier basin inventory and observed area changes since the 1940s.

A data set of worldwide glacier length fluctuations (2014)
Journal Article

Glacier fluctuations contribute to variations in sea level and historical glacier length fluctuations are natural indicators of past climate change. To study these subjects, long-term information of glacier change is needed. In this paper we present... Read More about A data set of worldwide glacier length fluctuations.
