Radiocarbon constraints on the extent and evolution of the South Pacific glacial carbon pool

On glacial/interglacial timescales CO2 might have been sequestered from the atmosphere and stored within the deep ocean. Here, the authors show that an old and CO2-rich water mass occupied the glacial South Pacific between ∼2,000 and 4,300 m water depth and was influenced by volcanic CO2from mid-oce...
