Atmospheric depletion of mercury over Antarctica during glacial periods
Mercury is a globally dispersed toxic metal that affects even remote polar areas. During seasonal atmospheric mercury depletion events in polar areas, mercury is removed from the atmosphere1,2 and subsequently deposited in the surface snows3. However, it is unknown whether these events, which have been documented for the past two decades, have occurred in the past. Here we show that over the pa...
متن کاملIncreased dust deposition in the Pacific Southern Ocean during glacial periods.
Dust deposition in the Southern Ocean constitutes a critical modulator of past global climate variability, but how it has varied temporally and geographically is underdetermined. Here, we present data sets of glacial-interglacial dust-supply cycles from the largest Southern Ocean sector, the polar South Pacific, indicating three times higher dust deposition during glacial periods than during in...
متن کاملHalogen species record Antarctic sea ice extent over glacial – interglacial periods
Sea ice is an integral part of the earth’s climate system because it affects planetary albedo, sea-surface salinity, and the atmosphere–ocean exchange of reactive gases and aerosols. Bromine and iodine chemistry is active at polar sea ice margins with the occurrence of bromine explosions and the biological production of organoiodine from sea ice algae. Satellite measurements demonstrate that co...
متن کاملSedimentary phosphorus record from the Oman margin: New evidence of high productivity during glacial periods
[1] The northern region of the Arabian Sea is one of the biologically most fertile regions of the world oceans, with present productivity rates varying between 150 and 2500 mgC/m day [Madhupratap et al., 1996]. This is related to the influence of the southwesterly summer monsoon which causes vigorous upwelling along the Oman margin. Upwelling ceases during northeasterly winter monsoon activity;...
متن کاملLower temperature as the main cause of C4 plant declines during the glacial periods on the Chinese Loess Plateau
The distribution of C3 and C4 plants changed in regionally contrasting ways during the last glacial period. C4 plant expansion in low-latitude Africa and America coincided with C4 plant decreases in Mesoamerica and the US Great Plains. This C4 plant expansion has been attributed to lower pCO2 and increased aridity and the decline in C4 plants is believed to have been caused by increased winter ...
