On the potential role of marine calcifiers in glacial-interglacial dynamics
A schematic overview of the sequence of events throughout a calcifer-alkalinity cycle Ice-core measurements reveal a highly asymmetric cycle in Antarctic temperature and atmospheric CO2 over the last 800,000 years. Both CO2 and temperature decrease over 100,000 years going into a glacial period, then rise steeply over less than 10,000 years at the end of a glacial. There … Continue reading On the potential role of marine calcifiers in glacial-interglacial dynamics -
