University of Sydney scientists have used the geological record of the deep sea to discover that past global warming has sped up deep ocean circulation. This is one of the missing links for predicting how future climate change may affect heat and carbon capture by the oceans.

University of Sydney scientists have used the geological record of the deep sea to discover that past global warming has sped up deepoceancirculation.

This is one of the missing links for predicting how future climate change may affect heat andcarbon captureby the oceans: more vigorous ocean currents make it easier for carbon and heat to be “mixed in.”

“So far, the ocean has absorbed a quarter of anthropogenic CO₂and over 90 percent of the associated excess heat,” said the study’s lead…
