The link between oceanic currents and climate
2014-07-07 08:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: For decades, climate scientists have tried to explain why ice-age cycles became longer and more intense about 900,000 years ago, switching from 41,000-year cycles to 100,000-year cycles. In a new study in the journal Science, researchers found that the deep ocean currents that move heat around the globe stalled or even stopped, possibly due to expanding ice cover in the north. The slowing currents increased carbon dioxide storage in the ocean, leaving less in the atmosphere, which kept temperatures...

Oceanic Acidification Ruining Digestion of Sea Urchins
2013-11-16 14:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Researchers from Sweden and Germany have found that climate change and ocean acidification is ruining the digestive systems of marine animals. They conducted the study on a larval stage of green sea urchins Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis. The research shows that marine animals can't digest food in acidic environment. Ocean acidification is an unfortunate consequence of the industrial revolution. Burning fossil fuels has resulted in the release of a billion tons of carbon dioxide in the environment....

Oceanic Iron content more variable than thought
2013-07-22 14:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EurekAlert: The supply of dissolved iron to oceans around continental shelves has been found to be more variable by region than previously believed with implications for future climate prediction. Iron is key to the removal of carbon dioxide from the Earth's atmosphere as it promotes the growth of microscopic marine plants (phytoplankton), which mop up the greenhouse gas and lock it away in the ocean. A new study, led by researchers based at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton, has found that...
