Deep-sea Antarctic Ecosystems 1 million years ago: Trace Fossils in the Sediment Record as Analogs for Modern Day Ecosystem Dynamics
Abstract: In the Drake Passage, between Antarctica and South America, bioturbation increases during warmer (open ocean) intervals during Marine Isotope 31. Marine Isotope 31 is a period of time approximately 1 million years ago that is considered an analog to the modern day Antarctic climate because it is the most recent geological warm period and … Read more
