Using data from the map, researchers can gain all kinds of insights into the geographical mysteries of Antarctica, from the continent’s topography to the future of its troubled ice sheets.
5 days ago · The Antarctic Treaty of 1959 aimed to curb militarization by designating the continent for peaceful scientific research only. Despite this, the legacy of earlier geopolitical maneuvers lingers. National operations sometimes cloaked in mystery, maintained the narrative of secret operations in Antarctica.
5 days ago · Ice advances reaching the West Antarctic coast initiated only at lower atmospheric CO 2 levels between ~560 ppmv and 280 ppmv (fig. S6, A and B) – values first recorded after ~26 Ma in the late Oligocene ( 43 ), when Antarctica’s thermal isolation had progressed further ( 47 ).
2 days ago · Both historical observations and recent modeling studies reveal a faster warming in the Arctic compared to the Antarctic. To understand the role of the Antarctic Circumpolar Circulation (ACC) in this warming asymmetry, we simulate the climate mean state and climate response to doubled CO 2 under different climate mean ACC states by closing or opening the Drake Passage (DP) with the Community ...
