Introduction to ‘Antarctic cryosphere and Southern Ocean climate evolution (Cenozoic–Holocene)’
Antarctic region has profoundly affected the global climates of the Cenozoic, influencing sea levels, atmospheric composition and dynamics, and ocean circulation. According to IPCC-2007 (IPCC, 2007) worst-case scenario projections, global annual mean temperatures by 2100 are likely to exceed those t...

Antarctic region has profoundly affected the global climates of the Cenozoic, influencing sea levels, atmospheric composition and dynamics, and ocean circulation. According to IPCC-2007 (IPCC, 2007) worst-case scenario projections, global annual mean temperatures by 2100 are likely to exceed those that have been experienced by the Earth in the last 40 myr when the Antarctic Ice Sheet may have first developed. This implies that the Ice Sheet may become unsustainable, with huge implications for global sea levels. A greater understanding of past changes in this region is crucial in forming a better view of future global environmental change and to predict the role of the Antarctic ice sheet in the future. For several decades international efforts have been made to determine the glacial and climate history of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean.
