Study finds Antarctic icebergs play a previously unknown role in global carbon cycle, climate

Green Car Congress

In a finding that has global implications for climate research, scientists have discovered that when icebergs cool and dilute the seas through which they pass for days, they also raise chlorophyll levels in the water that may in turn increase carbon dioxide absorption in the Southern Ocean.
