ACEX

In the Aug. 10 issue of Nature, several ACEX scientists present more evidence that the Arctic was extremely warm, unusually wet, and ice-free up to the time the last massive amounts of greenhouse gases were released into the Earth's atmosphere -- about 55 million years ago.

Gerald Dickens, Rice University geochemist and co-author, conducted shipboard chemical analyses of all ACEX core samples and comments on the Nature article.

“Building a picture of ancient climatic events is a lot like putting together a jigsaw puzzle, and what ACEX allowed us to do was fill in a blank section of the PETM picture,” said Gerald Dickens, a Rice University geochemist and study co-author who conducted the initial, shipboard chemical analyses of all the ACEX core samples.

Furthermore, the chemistry of the organic carbon in the ACEX cores may rule out some earlier theories about what caused the PETM.

“The ACEX cores clearly show that the Arctic got very warm and wet during the PETM,” Dickens said.
