Warming the Fuel for the Fire: Evidence for the Thermal Dissociation of Methane Hydrate During the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum
Dramatic warming and upheaval of the carbon system at the end of the Paleocene Epoch have been linked to massive dissociation of sedimentary methane hydrate. However, testing the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum hydrate dissociation hypothesis has been hindered by the inability of available proxy records to resolve the initial sequence of events. The cause of the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximu...
متن کاملOceanic methane seepage during warming
Atmospheric levels of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, vary greatly in the climate record and are usually thought to be due to emissions from continental wetlands. However, Tessa Hill et al. report that methane was released into the atmosphere from the oceans during the period of global warming associated with the most recent deglaciation. The results suggest that, at times, much more methane ...
متن کاملSulfur-induced greenhouse warming on early Mars
[1] Mineralogical, geological, geophysical, and isotopic data recently returned from Mars suggest that the delivery of sulfur gases to the atmosphere may have played a significant role in the planet’s early evolution. Using the Gusev Crater basalt composition and a batch melting model, we obtain a high sulfur solubility, approximately 1400 ppm, in Martian mantle melts. We proceed to explore dif...
متن کاملFinal warming of the Southern Hemisphere polar
6 The final warming date of the polar vortex is a key component of 7 Southern Hemisphere stratospheric and tropospheric variability in spring 8 and summer. We examine the effect of external forcings on Southern 9 Hemisphere final warming date, and the sensitivity of any projected changes 10 to model representation of the stratosphere. Final warming date is cal11 culated using a temperature-base...
