Global impacts of climate extremes in the polar regions: is Antarctica reaching a tipping point?

Discussion meeting organised by Professor Katherine Hendry, Dame Jane Francis DCMG FRS, Professor Michael Meredith, Professor Geraint Tarling, Dr Alexander Brearley, Professor Dominic Hodgson, and Dr Peter Davis.
 
The past two years have witnessed unprecedented extremes in the Antarctic linked to climate change, including exceptionally low winter sea ice and accelerated melting of ice. This meeting will bring together scientists and stakeholders for an urgent discussion on what we know about these recent events, whether they represent a climatic tipping point, and what the global impact of crossing such a threshold will be.
