Large δ 13 C Gradients in the Preindustrial North Atlantic Revealed
Lost Details Changes in ocean circulation are commonly inferred by differences between the distribution of carbon isotopes in the past and now, but making such comparisons neglects the fact that modern fossil fuel burning has modified the carbon isotopic composition of the ocean. This in turn obscur...
