East Antarctica’s Interior Warming Faster Than Expected

East Antarctica’s interior is warming up to 0.72 °C per decade, with the strongest rise observed Oct‑Mar, according to 30‑year data from Dome Fuji, Relay and Mizuho stations. getnews.me/east-antarcticas-interio... #eastantarctica #climatechange #warming

East Antarctica's Interior Warming Faster Than Coasts Revealed by 30‑Year Study

A 30‑year record (1993‑2022) from three unmanned stations shows East Antarctica’s interior is warming 0.45‑0.72 °C per decade, faster than the global average. getnews.me/east-antarcticas-interio... #eastantarctica #climatechange

New study by Kurita et al. shows that the interior of #EastAntarctica has experienced significant #warming over the past 30 years due to changes in atmospheric circulation, which are attributed to warming in the southern #IndianOcean. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our @geogdurham.bsky.social researchers, led by @polarguy.bsky.social, have discovered the remains of landscapes thought to have formed when ancient rivers flowed across #EastAntarctica – and they could help predictions of future loss from the ice sheet 👉 www.durham.ac.uk/news-events/...

At sustained >2°C global warming, large subglacial basins in #EastAntarctica could also cross their TPs, and irreversible collapse of the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets is likely to become locked in, with far-reaching impacts for the livelihoods of millions of people.
