Human-caused climate change worsens with every increment of additional warming, although some impacts can develop abruptly. The potential for abrupt changes is far less understood in the Antarctic compared with the Arctic, but evidence is emerging for rapid…
We report high resolution measurements of the stable water isotope ratios (?18O, ?D) from the Mount Brown South ice core (MBS, 69.11° S 86.31° E). The record covers the period 873 - 2009 CE with sub-annual temporal resolution.
Water stable isotope records from ice cores (?18O and ?D) are a critical tool for constraining long-term temperature variability at high latitudes. However, precipitation in Antarctica consists of semi-continuous small events and intermittent extreme events. In regions of high accumulation…
Australia’s record-breaking 2019/20 Black Summer fire weather resulted from a combination of natural and anthropogenic climate factors, but the full range of natural variability in fire weather is unknown.
Physical features preserved in ice cores may provide unique records about past atmospheric variability. Linking the formation and preservation of these features and the atmospheric processes causing them is key to their interpretation as palaeoclimate proxies. We imaged ice cores from Law Dome…
Southern Hemisphere climate reconstructions are limited by quantity and spatial coverage of well resolved paleoclimaterecords from the last 2000 years. This was the motivation to drill an ice core at a new site in East Antarctica…
Sea ice is a critical but poorly understood component of … Earth’s climate system. A rapid decline in Arctic sea ice over … recent decades has been documented using historical ship … charts and satellite images. However…
Ice-core records of methanesulphonic acid (MSA) provide a potentially powerful tool for … producing proxy records of sea ice, a critical but poorly understood component of the Earth’s climate … system. However, MSA is able to diffuse through solid ice…
