Ice-age sea-level declines may have turned seafloor volcanoes into natural iron fertilizer for plankton, potentially enhancing ocean carbon storage, Boston College researchers report in the journal ...

Sediment records from the eastern equatorial Pacific suggest that deglacial increases in hydrothermal iron release from East Pacific Rise volcanism, enhanced by earlier ice-age sea-level fall, boosted ...

The massive underwater crater left by the asteroid that exterminated the dinosaurs has provided new evidence that sea levels were much lower during the last Ice Age, researchers said. Scientists ...

A computer model shows how iron released by deep-sea hydrothermal vents could have spread through the Pacific Ocean during ice-age sea-level declines. Developed by a team led by Boston College ...
