Climate swings have brought great CO2 pulses up from the deep sea

05-11-2007 · EurekAlert!

A study released provides some of the first solid evidence that warming-induced changes in ocean circulation at the end of the last Ice Age caused vast quantities of ancient carbon dioxide to belch from the deep sea into the atmosphere.

Southern Ocean could slow global warming
12-05-2006 · EurekAlert!
A new climate model predicts that the Southern Hemisphere Westerly Winds' shift poleward will store carbon dioxide and heat in the deep ocean. Although atmospheric warming will slow, sea level will rise faster.

Exploration of lake hidden beneath Antarctica's ice sheet begins
01-15-2008 · EurekAlert!
A four-man science team led by British Antarctic Survey's Dr Andy Smith has begun exploring an ancient lake hidden deep beneath Antarctica's ice sheet. The lake -- the size of Lake Windermere -- could yield vital clues to life on Earth, climate change and future sea-level rise.

Climate influence on deep sea populations
01-15-2008 · EurekAlert!
In an article published in the Jan. 16 issue of PLoS ONE, Joan B. Company and colleagues at the Institut de Ciencies del Mar in Spain describe a mechanism of interaction across ecosystems showing how a climate-driven phenomenon originated in shelf environments controls the biological processes of a deep-sea living resource.

Present-day species of piranha result from a marine incursion into the Amazon Basin
12-03-2007 · EurekAlert!
A research team involving IRD scientists has acquired a better understanding of the evolutionary history of piranhas. About 4 million years BP, rise in sea level appears to have brought about the isolation of small populations of piranhas in the upper reaches of the great rivers. This situation favoured speciation and hence the formation of the present species. Such populations would then have descended to colonize the lowland waters of these rivers following the regression of the Atlantic Ocean.

Investigating coral reefs to help understand past and future climate change
05-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
Increasing Earth temperatures and rising sea levels. Both of these are effects of climate change. The current concern is that human activity is changing our climate at a rate well above the natural climate cycling. Understanding how the Earth's climate system works and responds to human impact is therefore of uttermost importance.
