• Penguin responses to climate change in the Southern Ocean (2009, background): “The consequences of a prolonged period of warming have been profound for terrestrial ice sheets, ice shelves (Domack et al., 2005), glacier retreat (Cook et al., 2005) and sea-ice season duration (Stammerjohn et al., 2008a, b).”
• Biodiversity and biogeography of southern temperate and polar bryozoans (2007, background): “At the present time, high southern latitudes are amongst the fastest changing through regional warming and ice retreat (Cook et al., 2005).”
• Quantifying Antarctic marine biodiversity: The SCAR-MarBIN data portal (2011, background): “The most marked changes are in air temperature, and these have been associated with the widespread retreat of glaciers (Cook et al., 2005) and collapse of ice shelves (Peck et al.”
• Marine pelagic ecosystems: the West Antarctic Peninsula (2007, background): “In turn, the increased ocean heat flux would amplify thewinter air temperature trend, the decrease in sea ice thickness (Stammerjohn et al. in press b) and the marine glacier retreat (Cook et al. 2005).”
• The spatial structure of Antarctic biodiversity (2014, background): “Over 80% of glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsula are in retreat (Cook et al. 2005), and the meltwater outflow can add a local buoyancy flux to the coastal zone, contributing to shallow mixed layers observed inshore along the western Antarctic Peninsula (Dierssen et al. 2002).”
• A status quo, vulnerability and adaptation assessment of the physical and socio-economic effects of climate change in the Western Cape (2005, background): “Indeed, very recent surveys in the Antarctic peninsula show that almost 90% of its glaciers have shown substantial reductions in volume over the past 60 years (Cook et al. 2005).”
• Detecting and mapping vegetation distribution on the Antarctic Peninsula from remote sensing data (2011, background): “The warming has also led to thinning (Pritchard and Vaugan 2007) and recession in local ice-caps and glaciers (Cook et al. 2005), exposing new bare ground for colonization by terrestrial biota (Convey and Smith 2006).”
• Simulated Antarctic precipitation and surface mass balance at the end of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries (2006, background): “Concerning the Antarctic surface mass balance (SMB), these contrasting temperature trends are consistent with widespread glacier retreat on the Antarctic Peninsula over the past 50 years ( Cook et al. 2005 ) and a decrease in the frequency of melt events over the last 20 years near the East Antarcti”
• Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere–Ice Response to Variations in the Southern Annular Mode (2006, background): “This has been further associated with a significant retreat in glacier margin positions throughout the peninsula (Cook et al. 2005).”
