Collaborative Research: Was there an anomalous Indian Ocean carbon reservoir? Searching for old radiocarbon and quantifying Ice Age changes in deep Indian Ocean ventilation

Carbon cycles between the earth, ocean, and atmosphere on geological timescales. The relative amount of carbon stored in each of these respective locations is one important control on Earth’s average temperature. During the last ice age 18,000 years ago, carbon moved out of the atmosphere causing decreased global temperatures. However, it remains…
