Tagged seals help find missing piece in global climate puzzle

By tracking the voyages of elephant seals off Antarctica, and with the help of satellite imaging and undersea sensors, researchers have discovered a long-elusive source for the deep-ocean streams of cold water that help to regulate the Earth's climate.Antarctic bottom water (AABW) is cold, high...
