in the oceans by now,5 at a continuously increasing rate: in 2010, 4.8-12.7 MMT of plastic waste pollution were estimated to enter the ocean from land,6 while a more recent study suggests that 19-23 MMT entered our waterways in 2016.7 Oceanic plastic pollution is not evenly distributed. Planetary hotspots include the five large ocean

ocean, thus modulating the course of climate change. Anthropogenic warming, in turn, can influence global ocean circulation through enhancing ocean stratification by warming and freshening the high latitude upper oceans, rendering it an integral part in understanding and predicting climate over the 21st century. The interactions between the MOC ...

Earth’s climate. Here we will focus on two particular impacts GHGs are having on the ocean—temperature and chemistry—and how they affect marine life and, ultimately, humans. The dynamic exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean includes not only gaseous water vapor but also carbon dioxide. In fact, the ocean has

May 24, 2022 · 1 Introduction. The evolution of Earth's climate system is intimately linked to the chemical evolution of Earth's ocean. For example, the scarcity of dissolved electron acceptors such as oxygen and sulfate prior to Earth's Great Oxidation Event may have allowed large fluxes of biogenic methane from the ocean to the atmosphere (Catling et al., 2001; Pavlov et al., 2003).
