Global Study of Monsoons Finds Ocean Variations Have Driven Recent Shifts

New York Times: The seasonal rains called monsoons matter enormously to human affairs, from the Indian subcontinent to the American Southwest. Getting a better understanding of the forces that will shape these features of the climate system in coming decades is a big research priority, but also a very tough challenge given the many factors in play.

Seeding Atlantic Ocean with Volcanic Iron Did Little to Lower CO2
2013-03-21 20:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: Plankton, tiny marine organisms, are a good way of cleansing the atmosphere of one of the main greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide. To do this they need dissolved iron to help them to grow, and if they lack iron then they cannot do much to reduce CO2 levels. So the eruption in 2010 of an Icelandic volcano gave scientists a perfect opportunity to see how much the cataclysm helped the plankton by showering them with unexpected clouds of iron. Their verdict, published in the journal Geophysical Research...

Oxygen-poor 'boring' ocean challenged evolution of early life
2013-03-18 21:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A research team led by biogeochemists at the University of California, Riverside has filled in a billion-year gap in our understanding of conditions in the early ocean during a critical time in the history of life on Earth. It is now well accepted that appreciable oxygen first accumulated in the atmosphere about 2.4 to 2.3 billion years ago. It is equally well accepted that the build-up of oxygen in the ocean may have lagged the atmospheric increase by well over a billion years, but the details...
