“The Buried Carbon Hypothesis and Future Climate Change” with Ning Zeng (University of Maryland/Wilderness Research Foundation) (Dec 2011)
Originally presented 3 Dec 2011 When glaciers advance, they bury vegetation and organic matter in the soil. When they recede and the materials are re-exposed, they decompose as carbon dioxide and add to the greenhouse gases. Dr. Ning Zeng has proposed the “buried...
