Bipolar control on changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide over millennial timescales

Nature Geoscience volume 16, pages 1084–1085 (2023)Cite this article

Subjects

Deep-sea acidity data combined with ice-core carbon dioxide records reveal that an interplay between the two polar regions modulates ocean ventilation through various modes. These modes explain past variations in deep-sea carbon storage and atmospheric carbon dioxide on millennial timescales.
