500 million years of ocean pH and atmospheric CO2
CO2 is an important greenhouse gas and building block for life. It plays a major role in regulating Earth's environment, maintaining planetary habitability, and influencing both ocean acidity and global climate. Anthropogenic carbon emissions have raised CO2 levels to their current concentration of 420 ppm, last seen 3 million years ago. Is this high? Was Pre-Industrial CO2 low? If we want to place CO2 changes in context and understand how Earth’s environment and climate will respond to changing CO2, we need to look into Earth’s geological past. My project provides a novel way to reconstruct ocean pH and atmospheric CO2 over the last 500 million years, from the dawn of complex…
