Global Carbon Cycling
Unknown
Unresolved balances in the annual carbon budget (top left) confuse interpretation of the global carbon cycle (bottom). Unknown sinks (top right) must play the role. (Reservoir estimates are in gigatons, fluxes in gigatons per year.)
-
Green House Effect Mechanism
Unknown
Figure 1. The greenhouse effect arises because Earth’s atmosphere tends to trap heat near the surface. Water vapor, CO2, and other trace greenhouse gases are relatively transparent to the visible and near-infrared wavelengths emitted by Earth. Hence an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases tends to warm the surface by downward reradiation of IR, as shown.

Holocene Reef Development, St. Croix, 1978
Unknown
Fig. 1. Idealized section across the St. Croix windward platform showing Holocene reef development relative to sea level rise. (1) Sea level reaches bench on shelf prior to 10,000 years before the present (BP). (The exact position of this bench is not known. It is assumed that it coincides with a marked slope break at 33m, but it may be deeper.) (2) Initiation of fringing reef system on shoreline benches approximately 400 years ago. (2). Initiation of bank-barrier reef system on coral head and detrital bars approximately 5000 years ago.
