But rather than flowing into oceans and settling on the seafloor for centuries or millennia bacteria in the Amazon river can break lignin down within two weeks the new study found.
In fact only 5 percent of the Amazon rain forest's plant-based carbon ends up reaching the ocean the researchers said.

From the medieval chill called the Little Ice age to the onset of global warming in the 1800s the coralline algae show how Arctic sea ice has responded to climate swings for the past 650 years.
For the first time researchers now have ancient sea ice information on a yearly scale said lead study author Jochen Halfar a paleoclimatologist at the University of Toronto in Mississauga Canada.
This is important for understanding the rapid short-term changes that are currently ongoing with respect to sea ice decline Halfar said in an email interview.
when sea ice blocks incoming sunlight the calcite layers develop visible bands that are similar to tree rings Halfar said.
During the Little Ice age when volcanoes and sun cycle variations caused a global cooling from the 1300s to the 1800s the coral's underwater tree rings narrowed suggesting extensive sea ice cover and short summers.
Starting in 1850 the onset of the Industrial revolution the algae's growth rings doubled in thickness in sync with the decline in the extent of Arctic sea ice.
The algae records also reveal frequent year-to-year variations in the amount of sea ice as satellites have seen in the past decade
when the Arctic sea ice has seesawed between relative highs and extreme lows. Video: Deep Sea Algae Contain Climate Change Clues Collecting more algae crusts could help fill a gap between climate records from sediment and ice cores
which may only provide a record for every 100 years and satellite tracking which goes back for only a few decades Halfar said.
With our coralline algal sea ice record we might be able to better constrain model prediction.

These findings suggest a physician was traveling by sea with his professional equipment the researchers said.
Meanwhile Petra's inhabitants took advantage of the broad watershed of sandstone hills that naturally guided water to the city center by building a complex system of pipes and channels to direct water to underground cisterns for storage.

This affects sea level all over the world. The speed of changes to this region has taken scientists by surprise
In January a team of researchers will sail into the Amundsen Sea on a 30-day mission to install instruments to measure ocean temperatures at specific locations
and how warm ocean water is when it is close to the ice. The scientists will also deploy a fleet of ocean robots called Seagliders and an unmanned submarine to measure ocean temperature salinity and the speed of currents at different depths.
These observations will help scientists determine how ocean currents transport heat beneath the ice shelf and how climate change will affect this part of Antarctica.
Four autonomous radar instruments capable of taking measurements year-round will also monitor the gradual shifts in the thickness of the ice shelf the part of the glacier that floats on the ocean
while the ocean surface is covered by sea ice making much of the region inaccessible for research ships.
The sensors attached to the Antarctic seals will gather information on ocean temperature and salinity or salt content.

whose thinning ice is contributing to sea level rise. In recent decades Pine Island Glacier's rapid retreat raised fears that the glacier could collapse freeing the ice sheet it buffers to flow even more rapidly into the southern seas.
The West Antarctic Ice contributes 0. 15 to 0. 30 millimeters per year to sea level rise.
The big question is whether the hasty retreat is a recent change caused by climate change or a more long-term phenomenon.
Pine Island Glacier's small ice shelf a platform of ice floating on the ocean's surface acts as a plug holding the rest of the ice stream in place on land.
Changes to Antarctic wind currents driven by global warming have pushed relatively warmer ocean waters beneath the ice shelves.
and meets the ocean has retreated at a rate of more than 1 kilometer a year.
Pine Island Glacier only stretches 45 miles (40 km) across where it meets the ocean
They studied sediments from Pine Island Bay where the ice shelves stick tongues into the ocean.
Microfossils in mud retrieved by ocean drilling aboard a research ship pinpoint when and were covered ice the bay.
which glaciers flow to the sea. The last calving event (the sudden release of ice) let loose in an iceberg that measured 26 by 11 miles (42 km by 17 km) in 2001.
We're pretty sure the most important driver is warm ocean water but this is still an open question Hillenbrand said.
so we can predict better the future behavior of these ice streams and their contribution to future sea level rise.
Changes in sea ice affect ocean circulation which in turn affects atmospheric circulation that then impacts the globe said Bruce Forbes a geographer at the Arctic Center at the University of Lapland in Finland who was involved not in the study.
The site also happened to be beside a globally important wetland but the parrot copped the blame
This a good sign for the survival of the species. The team found only about 100 adult penguins along the shoreline where the ice meets the sea compared with about 1000 adults last year Hubert said.
The baby penguins were further inland slowly migrating toward stable sea ice about 6 miles (10 kilometers) from their overwintering spot where the fathers huddle together for warmth
After winter ends parents make trips to the sea to deliver meals to their chicks.
To make matters worse the drop in atmospheric CO2 plunged the earth into a massive deep freeze that has come to be called the<a href=http://www. livescience. com/27684-snowball-earth-ocean-mixing. html target=blank>Snowball Earth

Similar celebrations mark the birthday of Mazu the goddess of the sea (also known as Tianhou) in May or June.
Some studies have suggested that sea levels during that time were several meters higher than they are today;
such an increase in sea levels would threaten and could even inundate coastal cities. We can't accept that Hansen said.
because the ocean absorbs some of the heat delaying the inherent atmospheric warming for decades to centuries.
The oceans also absorb some of the carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere which affects efforts to reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere as less carbon dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere the oceans will release some carbon dioxide so that the two systems stay in balance.
Hansen and his co-authors say this emphasizes the urgency of starting to reduce emissions now;

Iceland Volcano's Fiery Sunsets Ocean bloom Iron is key to ocean life helping spur the growth of single-celled organisms known as phytoplankton.
In about a third of the global ocean a scarcity of iron limits the abundance of life so ash supplying this metal could spur booms in biological activity.
Since phytoplankton use carbon dioxide just like plants do volcanic ash falling on the ocean could reduce levels of the greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.

It's not a very efficient process. You'd need so much iron to remove the man-made carbon dioxide emitted at the moment that it wouldn't be worth it.
In the future researchers could investigate the effects of volcanic ash on the Southern Ocean which is relatively rich in nitrate.
