| Abstract | Carbon cycles between the earth, ocean, and atmosphere on geological timescales. The relative amount of carbon stored in each of these respective locations is one important control on Earth’s average temperature. During the last ice age 18,000 years ago, carbon moved out of the atmosphere causing decreased global temperatures. However, it remains unknown where that carbon was stored. This project uses radiocarbon dating to test whether the deep Indian Ocean stored substantial amounts of carbon a |
