Journal ArticleDOI
The Global Carbon Cycle: A Test of Our Knowledge of Earth as a System
Paul G. Falkowski,Robert J. Scholes,Edward A. Boyle,Josep G. Canadell,Donald E. Canfield,James J. Elser,Nicolas Gruber,K. Hibbard,Peter Högberg,Sune Linder,Fred T. Mackenzie,Berrien Moore,Thomas F. Pedersen,Yair Rosenthal,Sybil P. Seitzinger,Victor Smetacek,Will Steffen +16 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that although natural processes can potentially slow the rate of increase in atmospheric CO2, there is no natural "savior" waiting to assimilate all the anthropogenically produced CO2 in the coming century.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glacial/interglacial variations in atmospheric carbon dioxide
Daniel M. Sigman,Edward A. Boyle +1 more
TL;DR: A version of the hypothesis that the whole-ocean reservoir of algal nutrients was larger during glacial times, strengthening the biological pump at low latitudes, where these nutrients are currently limiting is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mesoscale iron enrichment experiments 1993-2005 : Synthesis and future directions
Philip W. Boyd,Tim Jickells,Cliff S. Law,Stéphane Blain,Edward A. Boyle,Ken O. Buesseler,Kenneth H. Coale,John J. Cullen,H. J. W. de Baar,Michael J. Follows,Mike Harvey,Christiane Lancelot,Maurice Levasseur,N. P. J. Owens,Raymond T. Pollard,Richard B. Rivkin,Jorge L. Sarmiento,Véronique Schoemann,Victor Smetacek,Shigenobu Takeda,Atsushi Tsuda,Suzanne M. Turner,Andrew J. Watson +22 more
TL;DR: The findings of these 12 FeAXs reveal that iron supply exerts controls on the dynamics of plankton blooms, which in turn affect the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, silicon, and sulfur and ultimately influence the Earth climate system.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Structure and Origin of Major Glaciation Cycles 1. Linear Responses to Milankovitch Forcing
John Imbrie,Edward A. Boyle,Steven C. Clemens,A. Duffy,William R Howard,George Kukla,John E. Kutzbach,Douglas G. Martinson,Andrew McIntyre,Alan C. Mix,B. Molfino,Joseph J. Morley,Larry C. Peterson,Nicklas G Pisias,Warren L. Prell,Maureen E. Raymo,N.J. Shackleton,J. R. Toggweiler +17 more
TL;DR: Starr et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the 23,000 and 41,000-year cycles of glaciation are continuous, linear responses to orbitally driven changes in the Arctic radiation budget, and used the phase progression in each climatic cycle to identify the main pathways along which the initial, local responses to radiation are propagated by the atmosphere and ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Structure and Origin of Major Glaciation Cycles .2. the 100,000-year Cycle
John Imbrie,André Berger,Edward A. Boyle,Steven C. Clemens,A. Duffy,William R Howard,George Kukla,John E. Kutzbach,Douglas G. Martinson,Andrew McIntyre,Alan C. Mix,B. Molfino,Joseph J. Morley,Larry C. Peterson,Nicklas G Pisias,Warren L. Prell,Maureen E. Raymo,Nicholas J Shackleton,J. R. Toggweiler +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present phase observations showing that the geographic progression of local responses over the 100,000-year cycle is similar to the progression in the other two cycles, implying that a similar set of internal climatic mechanisms operates in all three.
