  1. Does the Arctic Ocean regulate or amplify global warming? – Sciworthy

    Greenhouse gases trap heat within the atmosphere. One such gas that exists beneath the ocean floor is methane.…

  2. What we should learn from history regarding #ClimateChange

    “The PETM involved more than 5°C of warming in 15-20 thousand years (actually a little slower than rates of warming over the last 50 years), fueled by the input of more than 2000 gigatons (a gigaton is a billion tons!) of carbon into the atmosphere.”

  7. From 2021: An Ancient Era of #GlobalWarming Could Hint at Our Scorching Future [Bonus -- We're adding #PFAS, #microplastics and #radiation to the mix! Oh boy...!]

    Looking back at the strange and sweaty days of the #PETM.

    by Riley Black, August 16, 2021

    "THERE WAS A TIME when alligators slid through weed-choked swamps near the North Pole. Some 55 million years ago—just around 10 million years after the mass extinction that killed T. rex and most of its kin—the average global temperature sat more than 20°F higher than it does today. Subtropical forests spread to northern latitudes, and mammals thrived in lush new habitats.

    "The toasty weather had nothing to do with the event that killed the dinos. The driver for the climatic shift came not from above, but from below—in Earth’s oceans. Paleontologists and geologists suspect that some amount of natural warming that took place during the Paleocene, or the period following the die-off, caused great deposits of crystallized methane to transform into gas. Seabeds belched the excess out into the water and the air, which was bad news for the planet: Methane is a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide. The globe rapidly warmed in response—jumping about 10°F in less than 20,000 years—and held steady for some 70,000 more before starting a long and slow recovery.

    "Paleontologists call this hot spot the #Paleocene​EoceneThermalMaximum (PETM). It’s a time when subtropical forests spread over the continents and new animals got to stake their claims on the planet, all thanks to an atmosphere and oceans in turmoil. This part of the fossil record is a remnant of the past, but it may also be a preview of our future."

  17. Congratulations to Dr. Pascale Daoust, who successfully defended, "Ocean Acidification: Insights from the Behaviour of Ancient and Modern Carbonates", supervised by Al Mucci and Galen Halverson.

    The work involved field and laboratory studies of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum section near Campo, Spain.

    The figure shows the depositional environments at the time; from Daoust et al, submitted, modified from Pujalte et al. (2014)

  22. 🚨new #preprint🚨
    Age depth models are crucial to determine the timing and rate of past change, but are often based on simplified model assumptions that result in convenient mathematics. We built two new methods to estimate them from complex #stratigraphic and #sedimentological data to produce empirically realistic age-depth models 😁

  29. Read this article about #methane #hydrates observed off the coast of Africa moving 40km from deep-cold waters to the continental shelf:
    scitechdaily.com/fire-ice-time

    Relevant because one of the leading theories for what caused the #PETM (jump in #CO2 and #temperatures at 55 Ma) is the #clathrate gun-- frozen methane in the abyssal ocean thawing & causing sudden warming.
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clathrat
    But it hinges on methane being shallow enough to being vulnerable to melt.

    Not time to panic, but wow.
