New Study Shows Antarctic Waters Unleashed Ancient Carbon at the Ice Age’s End
New research shows that shifting Antarctic circulation after the last Ice Age released ancient deep-ocean carbon into the atmosphere. Using Southern Ocean sediment cores, scientists traced how expanding Antarctic Bottom Water mixed long-isolated, carbon-rich waters upward. The findings reveal a major but underappreciated driver of early Holocene wa...

Scientists Warn Southern Ocean Could ‘Burp’ Stored Heat, Delaying Global Cooling for 100 Years
New modelling suggests the Southern Ocean could one day release the vast heat it has stored from greenhouse gas pollution. If CO₂ levels were pushed to net-negative, deep convection may trigger a sudden “thermal burp” that warms the planet for decades. Though idealised, the study shows how Antarctica’s surrounding seas could shape long-term...
