FEATURED PAPER: Improving climate predictions
The Earth’s climate was warmer than today by at least 1°C during the Last Interglacial (between 129,000 and 116,000 years ago). Thus, the Last Interglacial represents an invaluable case study […]

Weddell Sea ice sheet and climate
Read more of: Weddell Sea ice sheet and climateStudying ice response during past climate changes improves understanding of Antarctic ice sheet dynamics. This knowledge helps predict how ice sheets may behave under future warming scenarios.

The role of the Southern Ocean in regulating atmospheric CO2 on glacial-interglacial timescales
Read more of: The role of the Southern Ocean in regulating atmospheric CO2 on glacial-interglacial timescalesThis project attempts to reconstruct changes in the intermediate-deep ocean density gradient in the South Atlantic across the last deglaciation in order to assess the link between deep ocean stratification and atmospheric CO2.

The role of Antarctic sea-ice in global climate
Read more of: The role of Antarctic sea-ice in global climateThis project examines Antarctic sea-ice’s role in global climate, using marine sediment and ice core records to reconstruct past sea-ice extent.

Antarctic Climate over the last millennia
Read more of: Antarctic Climate over the last millenniaThis project used ice cores drilled across the Antarctic Peninsula and West Antarctica to reconstruct past climate and understand whether the recent warming in these rapidly changing regions is unusual over longer timescales..

Climate and Ice during the Last Interglacial
Read more of: Climate and Ice during the Last InterglacialThis project studies the last Interglacial (129-116 thousand years ago, ka) when CO2 and global temperature were both higher than they were before human industrialisation. By examining Last Interglacial climate, we can gain insights into climate processes and feedbacks close to those expected by the end of the 21st century.

West Antarctica wind strength and atmospheric circulation
Read more of: West Antarctica wind strength and atmospheric circulationThis project used ice core chemical and biological tracers, including marine diatoms swept onto the ice sheet by wind, to reconstruct 300 years of wind strength and atmospheric circulation patterns in West Antarctica.
