image: This is a summary diagram of carbon reorganization between deep ocean (>~3 km), upper ocean (<~2 km), land biosphere, and atmosphere during the early (A) and late (B) deglacial periods. Double arrows indicate carbon exchange between reservoirs, and single arrows indicate net flux (indicated by numbers and line thicknesses), not pathways, of carbon from one reservoir to another. See figure 3 in the manuscript for more information. This image relates to an article that appeared in the Nov. 19, 2010, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The study, by Dr. Jimin Yu of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University in Palisades, N.Y., and colleagues was titled, "Loss of Carbon from the Deep Sea Since the Last Glacial Maximum." view more
