Proceedings of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program 323: Bering Sea Paleoceanography ...

Paleoclimate and paleoceanographic studies present opportunities to study the dynamics of the climate system by examining how it responds to external forcing (e.g., greenhouse gas and solar radiation changes) and how its interacting components generate climate oscillations and abrupt changes. Of not...

Description
Summary:Paleoclimate and paleoceanographic studies present opportunities to study the dynamics of the climate system by examining how it responds to external forcing (e.g., greenhouse gas and solar radiation changes) and how its interacting components generate climate oscillations and abrupt changes. Of note is the amplified recent warming of the high latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, which is presumably related to sea ice albedo feedback and teleconnections to other regions; both the behavior of sea ice–climate interactions and the role of large-scale atmospheric and oceanic circulation in climate change can be studied with geologic records of past climate change in the Bering Sea. Drilling in the Bering Sea may help answer questions not only about the global extent of climate trends and oscillations but also about the mechanisms that produce them. In addition to having important sedimentary records of past climate change, the Bering Sea is a region of relatively high surface productivity, elevated ...
