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.

People had assumed just'Well it's not energetically feasible for an organism to break lignin apart so why would they?'

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.

and icebergs into the ocean was equal to the amount of water falling as snow onto the ice sheet

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.
