Antarctic ice feedback limits Southern Ocean carbon sink
Berlin, Germany (SPX) Feb 03, 2026
A sediment core from the Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean has provided a research team led by geochemist Dr Torben Struve from the University of Oldenburg, Germany, with evidence of an unexpected climate feedback in Antarctica. The study, published in Nature Geoscience, links changes in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to variations in marine algae growth over several glacial cycles, but in a wa
