Forams Can Provide a Record of Ancient Climate
Forams Can Provide a Record of Ancient Climate
These microscopic creatures have been around for 550 million years. Because of their abundance in ancient sediments and their sensitivity to different environments, oil companies hire paleontologists to examine forams in rock samples to help them decide where to drill. For similar reasons, forams also are useful indicators of past climate change. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

 Climate change may be sparking new and bigger "dead zones"
Climate change may be sparking new and bigger "dead zones"
Scientists are discovering that climate change--and not just fertilizer from farm use--may be spurring the emergence of barren underwater landscapes in coastal waters. Expanding dead zones not only spell trouble for biodiversity, but they also threaten the commercial fisheries of many nations. picked by karenben 4 days ago

 Adapt, Move or Die: Prehistoric Climate Change
Adapt, Move or Die: Prehistoric Climate Change
Today, the climate in Britain is pleasant. But every hundred thousand years or so, it goes from pleasant to abominable — part of a natural cycle that is caused by the way the earth tilts and wobbles as it orbits the sun. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

Scientists melt million-year-old ice in search of ancient microbes
Researchers have thawed ice estimated to be at least a million years old from above Lake Vostok, an ancient lake that lies hidden more than two miles beneath the frozen surface of Antarctica. The scientists will now examine the eons-old water for microorganisms, and then through novel genomic techniques, try to figure out how these tiny, living “time capsules” survived the ages in tota... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 10 months ago
