Ice core methanesulfonic acid from the Begguya (Mount Hunter) plateau, Denali National Park, Alaska, 2013 ...
An industrial-era drop in Greenland ice core methanesulfonic acid is thought to herald a collapse in North Atlantic marine phytoplankton stocks related to a weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. In contrast, stable levels of marine biogenic sulfur production contradict this i...

An industrial-era drop in Greenland ice core methanesulfonic acid is thought to herald a collapse in North Atlantic marine phytoplankton stocks related to a weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. In contrast, stable levels of marine biogenic sulfur production contradict this interpretation, and point to changes in atmospheric oxidation as a potential cause of the methanesulfonic acid decline. However, the impact of oxidation on methanesulfonic acid production has not been quantified, nor has this hypothesis been rigorously tested. Here we present a multi-century methanesulfonic acid record from the Denali, Alaska, ice core, which shows a methanesulfonic acid decline similar in magnitude but delayed by 93 years relative to the Greenland record.
