Palaeoceanography: In hot water
Christina L. De La Rocha1
Abstract
There has long been scepticism about the geochemical evidence that the ancient ocean was markedly warm. A fresh approach bolsters the case for an ocean that, in the distant past, was indeed quite hot.
Reconstructing past ocean temperatures is an obsession for many Earth scientists. That's understandable — such data provide insights into climate and its links to biogeochemical cycling, ocean circulation and tectonics, not to mention mass extinctions, evolutionary radiations, and other ups and downs of the biosphere.
