Slowdown of Shirase Glacier, East Antarctica, caused by strengthening alongshore winds (2022)
Journal Article
Miles, B. W., Stokes, C. R., Jenkins, A., Jordan, J. R., Jamieson, S. S., & Gudmundsson, G. H. (2022). Slowdown of Shirase Glacier, East Antarctica, caused by strengthening alongshore winds. The Cryosphere, 17, 445-456. https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-2022-126

Around large parts of West Antarctica and in Wilkes Land, East Antarctica, increased wind-forced intrusions of modified Circumpolar Deep Water (mCDW) onto the continental shelf have been associated with mass loss over the last few decades. Despite co... Read More about Slowdown of Shirase Glacier, East Antarctica, caused by strengthening alongshore winds.

Response of the East Antarctic Sheet to Past and Future Climate Change (2022)
Journal Article
Stokes, C. R., Abram, N. J., Bentley, M. J., Edwards, T. L., England, M. H., Foppert, A., …Whitehouse, P. (2022). Response of the East Antarctic Sheet to Past and Future Climate Change. Nature, 608, 275-286. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-022-04946-0

The East Antarctic Ice Sheet contains the vast majority of Earth’s glacier ice (about 52 metres sea-level equivalent), but is often viewed as less vulnerable to global warming than the West Antarctic or Greenland ice sheets. However, some regions of... Read More about Response of the East Antarctic Sheet to Past and Future Climate Change.

The Last Glacial Maximum and Deglacial History of the Seno Skyring Ice Lobe (52°S), Southern Patagonia (2022)
Journal Article
Lira, M., García, J., Bentley, M. J., Jamieson, S. S., Darvill, C. M., Hein, A. S., …Binnie, S. A. (2022). The Last Glacial Maximum and Deglacial History of the Seno Skyring Ice Lobe (52°S), Southern Patagonia. Frontiers in Earth Science, 10, https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2022.892316

There are still many uncertainties about the climatic forcing that drove the glacier fluctuations of the Patagonian Ice Sheet (PIS, 38–55°S) during the last glacial period. A key source of uncertainty is the asynchrony of ice lobe fluctuations betwee...

High spatial and temporal variability in Antarctic ice discharge linked to ice shelf buttressing and bed geometry (2022)
Journal Article
Miles, B., Stokes, C., Jamieson, S., Jordan, J., Gudmundsson, G., & Jenkins, A. (2022). High spatial and temporal variability in Antarctic ice discharge linked to ice shelf buttressing and bed geometry. Scientific Reports, 12, Article 10968. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-13517-2

Antarctica’s contribution to global mean sea level rise has been driven by an increase in ice discharge into the oceans. The rate of change and the mechanisms that drive variability in ice discharge are therefore important to consider in the context...

Palaeoglaciation in the low latitude, low elevation tropical Andes, northern Peru (2022)
Journal Article
Lee, E., Ross, N., Henderson, A., Russell, A., Jamieson, S., & Fabel, D. (2022). Palaeoglaciation in the low latitude, low elevation tropical Andes, northern Peru. Frontiers in Earth Science, 10, Article 838826. https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2022.838826

Characterising glaciological change within the tropical Andes is important because tropical glaciers are sensitive to climate change. Our understanding of glacier dynamics and how tropical glaciers respond to global climate perturbations is poorly co...

Large interannual variability in supraglacial lakes around East Antarctica (2022)
Journal Article
Arthur, J. F., Stokes, C. R., Jamieson, S. S., Rachel Carr, J., Leeson, A. A., & Verjans, V. (2022). Large interannual variability in supraglacial lakes around East Antarctica. Nature Communications, 13(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-29385-3

Antarctic supraglacial lakes (SGLs) have been linked to ice shelf collapse and the subsequent acceleration of inland ice flow, but observations of SGLs remain relatively scarce and their interannual variability is largely unknown. This makes it diffi... Read More about Large interannual variability in supraglacial lakes around East Antarctica.

Summer sea-ice variability on the Antarctic margin during the last glacial period reconstructed from snow petrel (Pagodroma nivea) stomach-oil deposits (2022)
Journal Article
McClymont, E. L., Bentley, M. J., Hodgson, D. A., Spencer-Jones, C. L., Wardley, T., West, M. D., …Phillips, R. A. (2022). Summer sea-ice variability on the Antarctic margin during the last glacial period reconstructed from snow petrel (Pagodroma nivea) stomach-oil deposits. Climate of the Past, 18(2), 381-403. https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-18-381-2022

Antarctic sea ice is a critical component of the climate system affecting a range of physical and biogeochemical feedbacks and supporting unique ecosystems. During the last glacial stage, Antarctic sea ice was more extensive than today, but uncertain...

Enhanced terrestrial carbon export from East Antarctica during the early Eocene (2022)
Journal Article
Inglis, G., Toney, J., Zhu, J., Poulsen, C., Rohl, U., Jamieson, S., …Bendle, J. (2022). Enhanced terrestrial carbon export from East Antarctica during the early Eocene. Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, 37(2), Article e2021PA004348. https://doi.org/10.1029/2021pa004348

Terrestrial organic carbon (TerrOC) acts as an important CO2 sink when transported via rivers to the ocean and sequestered in coastal marine sediments. This mechanism might help to modulate atmospheric CO2 levels over short- and long timescales (103... Read More about Enhanced terrestrial carbon export from East Antarctica during the early Eocene.
