Some tropical land may heat up nearly twice as much as oceans under climate change, sediment record suggests
Some tropical land regions may warm more dramatically than previously predicted, as climate change progresses, according to a new CU Boulder study that looks millions of years into Earth's past. Using lake sediments from the Colombian Andes, researchers reveal that when the planet warmed millions of years ago under carbon dioxide levels similar to today's, tropical land heated up nearly twice as much as the ocean.
American researchers revealed in a study published on February 2 that if the current climate trajectory continues, tropical lands could warm up nearly twice as fast as the oceans. This study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences at the University of Boulder (Colorado), is based on temperatures modelled from sediments collected in mountain ranges in Colombia, dating from the Pliocene period — about 3 to (...) …
Environmental News Network - Some Tropical Land May Experience Stronger-than-Expected Warming Under Climate Change
Some tropical land regions may warm more dramatically than previously predicted, as climate change progresses, according to a new CU Boulder study that looks millions of years into Earth’s past.
Science Writing. Some tropical regions could warm up more drastically than previously anticipated as climate change progresses, points out a study that analyzes millions of years of the Earth’s past. Lacustrian sediments and study of the Pliocene Lacustrian sediments of the Colombian Andes have been used for that research, published in the magazine Pnas. The Pliocene, between 2.5 and 5 million years ago, is the most recent time when the Earth wa…
