How the Antarctic is helping Arizona keep its cool
Update: 2013-11-13
Description
The vast Southern Ocean region surrounding the Antarctic continent is the only place in the global ocean where water upwells from more than two kilometers to the surface before sinking again. The deep of the Southern Ocean holds the key to the rate of warming of our atmosphere, because enormous amounts of heat and carbon can be stored in this ocean reservoir. Despite its critical importance, however, the Southern Ocean is the least observed and least understood region of the oceans. We will talk about the revolution taking place in oceanography and climate science that will enable us to predict the ocean’s role in determining the climate of Earth.
