Hidden ocean chain reaction may have driven ice ages
Original: Earth's ice ages may have been driven by a hidden ocean chain reaction
New research suggests Earth's ice ages may have been triggered by a chain reaction in the deep ocean, where changes in circulation and carbon storage could have amplified cooling into full glacial periods. The findings point to the ocean's hidden role as a driver of dramatic climate shifts in the planet's past, rather than changes in sunlight or atmospheric carbon alone.
Why now: Fresh research linking ocean processes to the origins of ice ages is drawing attention to how Earth's climate can tip into global glaciation.
