Cause of the Glacial to Interglacial Atmospheric CO2 Change: Foreign Trip Report, October 14, 1989-October 24, 1989.

摘要

The traveler attended the Third International CO(sub 2) Conference at Hinterzarten, Federal Republic of Germany, and presented two papers, one entitled ''The Cause of the Glacial to Interglacial Atmospheric CO(sub 2) Change: A Polar Alkalinity Hypothesis,'' and the other entitled ''Global Net CO(sub 2) Flux Across the Sea-Air Interface Based on the Observed pCO(sub 2) in Surface Water.'' Nine sessions on various special topics were held. These sessions, all of great interest to the Global Carbon Cycle Research Program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, included (1) ice core CO(sub 2) measurement, (2) causes of glacial-interglacial CO(sub 2) variations, (3) atmospheric CO(sub 2) observation, (4) isotopes in the carbon cycle, (5) exchange of carbon between atmosphere and land biota, (6) land biota and the carbon cycle, (7) marine biota and the carbon cycle, (8) oceanic pCO(sub 2), and air-sea exchange, and (9) ocean modeling and oceanic processes. Sixty papers were presented orally, and 22 others were presented in poster sessions.
