Giant Icebergs Have Surprise Role in Slowing Warming
2016-01-16 16:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The biggest icebergs breaking off Antarctica unexpectedly help to slow global warming as they melt away into the Southern Ocean, scientists said on Monday. The rare Manhattan-sized icebergs, which may become more frequent in coming decades because of climate change, release a vast trail of iron and other nutrients that act as fertilizers for algae and other tiny plant-like organisms in the ocean. These extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow, a natural ally for human efforts to...

Giant icebergs play key role in removing carbon dioxide from atmosphere
2016-01-11 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Pioneering research from the University of Sheffield's Department of Geography discovered melting water from giant icebergs, which contains iron and other nutrients, supports hitherto unexpectedly high levels of phytoplankton growth. This activity, known as carbon sequestration, contributes to the long-term storage of atmospheric carbon dioxide, therefore helping to slow global warming. During the study, which is the first of its kind on this scale, a team of scientists led by Professor Grant...
