D. K. Hutchinson, L. Menviel, et al.

During the Last Interglacial, the Antarctic ice sheet was significantly smaller, leading to striking climatic changes. This study reveals how partial melting influences surface temperatures and ocean conditions, showcasing greater Antarctic warming than previously understood. This impactful research was conducted by David K. Hutchinson, Laurie Menviel, Katrin J. Meissner, and Andrew McC. Hogg.
