Utilizing Manganese And Rhenium Sediment Concentrations To Reconstruct Past Interglacial Southern Ocean Circulation Changes, Evan E. Rohde
Utilizing Manganese And Rhenium Sediment Concentrations To Reconstruct Past Interglacial Southern Ocean Circulation Changes, Evan E. Rohde
Honors Theses
The circulation in the Southern Ocean is a component of global nutrient, heat, and carbon cycles. Changes in any of these cycles can dramatically change ocean conditions around the world. Therefore, any changes that occurred to this circulation in the past is of scientific interest. We hypothesize that changes in the glacial cycle of the planet can affect this circulation. Specifically, we hypothesize that the strength of circulation in the Southern Ocean can be reduced by conditions during interglacial, or warm climate, time periods. It is proposed that during the interglacial period of Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 11 (425 to …
