| Abstract | Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are strongly linked to modern global warming. Over long periods of time (thousands of years or longer), the planet regulates the balance of carbon in the in different components of Earth’s system. The ocean is the largest such component, where fjords store a disproportionately large volume of carbon compared to their total area in the global ocean. In this project, investigators will use a variety of geochemical indicators from three sediment cores, that were pr |
