Southern Ocean Research Provides New Insight Into Ice Age Climates
2014-06-03 13:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: A team of MIT scientists has turned to the Southern Ocean in search of an explanation for the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), a period in the Earth`s climate history during which the northern continents were covered by ice sheets, according to new research appearing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Plankton fossils contained in deep-sea sediments contain chemical traces that reveal rearranged ocean water masses, as well as extended sea ice coverage off Antarctica, during the...

Solving puzzle ice age climates: Southern Ocean & explanation for 'Last Glacial Maximum'
2014-06-03 12:45:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: The paleoclimate record for the last ice age -- a time 21,000 years ago called the "Last Glacial Maximum" (LGM) -- tells of a cold Earth whose northern continents were covered by vast ice sheets. Chemical traces from plankton fossils in deep-sea sediments reveal rearranged ocean water masses, as well as extended sea ice coverage off Antarctica. Air bubbles in ice cores show that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was far below levels seen before the Industrial Revolution. While ice ages are set...

Early Warning System Needed In A World With Changing Climates
2013-12-04 22:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RedOrbit: The National Research Council says that even gradual climate change can have abrupt impacts in human infrastructure and ecosystems if critical thresholds are crossed, so an early warning system needs to be developed now, before its too late. The federal report calls for the development of an early warning system that could help anticipate sudden changes and emerging impacts. "Research has helped us begin to distinguish more imminent threats from those that are less likely to happen this century,"...
