Enhanced deep Southern Ocean stratification during the lukewarm interglacials [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsBetween ~800 and 430 thousand years ago lukewarm interglacials were characterized by lower atmospheric CO2 levels and colder Antarctic temperatures than subsequent interglacials. The Southern Ocean is thought to have played a crucial role, but associated

Contributions of biological and physical dynamics to deglacial CO2 release from the polar Southern Ocean [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsAs a critical region regulating air-sea gas exchanges, the polar Southern Ocean has important implications for deglacial atmospheric CO2 rises. However, proxy data evidence is sparse to evaluate the respective roles of Southern Ocean biological and ...
