Recent climate change : causes and impacts of climate change in Antarctica.
In recent decades, many changes have occurred in the atmosphere and the ocean around Antarctica as well as to the terrestrial environments of the continent itself. The causes of these changes are numerous and varied. All components of the Antarctic environment are linked – the hydrosphere, atmospher...
