Journal ArticleDOI
A coupled climate–ice sheet modeling approach to the Early Cenozoic history of the Antarctic ice sheet
Robert M. DeConto,David Pollard +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled global climate-dynamical ice sheet model was used to investigate the effects of declining atmospheric CO2, compared to those of the tectonic opening of Southern Ocean gateways and the timing of mountain uplift in the Antarctic interior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolving Understanding of Antarctic Ice-Sheet Physics and Ambiguity in Probabilistic Sea-Level Projections
Robert E. Kopp,Robert M. DeConto,Daniel A. Bader,Carling C. Hay,Carling C. Hay,Carling C. Hay,Radley M. Horton,Radley M. Horton,Scott Kulp,Michael Oppenheimer,David Pollard,Benjamin H. Strauss +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors link a probabilistic framework for sea-level projections to a small ensemble of Antarctic ice-sheet (AIS) simulations incorporating these physical processes to explore their influence on global-mean sealevel (GMSL) and relative sea level (RSL).
Journal ArticleDOI
Hysteresis in Cenozoic Antarctic ice-sheet variations
David Pollard,Robert M. DeConto +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a coupled global climate-Antarctic ice sheet model is run for 10 million years across the Eocene-Oligocene boundary ~34 Ma, and the model simulates a rapid transition from very little ice to a large continental ice sheet, forced by a gradual decline of atmospheric CO2 and higher-frequency orbital forcing.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Paris Climate Agreement and future sea-level rise from Antarctica
Robert M. DeConto,David Pollard,Richard B. Alley,Isabella Velicogna,Edward Gasson,Natalya Gomez,Shaina Sadai,Alan Condron,Daniel M. Gilford,Erica Ashe,Robert E. Kopp,Dawei Li,Dawei Li,Andrea Dutton +13 more
TL;DR: This article used an observationally calibrated ice sheet-shelf model to show that with global warming limited to 2 degrees Celsius or less, Antarctic ice loss will continue at a pace similar to today's throughout the twenty-first century.
Journal ArticleDOI
Choosing the future of Antarctica
Stephen R. Rintoul,Stephen R. Rintoul,Steven L. Chown,Robert M. DeConto,Matthew H. England,Helen A. Fricker,Valérie Masson-Delmotte,Tim R Naish,Martin J. Siegert,José C. Xavier,José C. Xavier +10 more
TL;DR: The future of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean by 2070 is described under two scenarios, one in which action is taken to limit greenhouse gas emissions, and one inWhich noaction is taken.
