The Ocean as a Buffer to Climate Change
Laure Resplandy, assistant professor of geosciences and the High Meadows Environmental Institute, and HMEI associated faculty Daniel Sigman, the Dusenbury Professor of Geological and Geophysical Sciences, explain how the ocean absorbs heat and carbon dioxide, providing a buffer against climate change. Princeton and PEI researchers are studying the past and present of the ocean through models, corals, and sediment and ice cores to more accurately project the future state of marine ecosystems and uncover unexpected effects of climate change.
This video is part of a series that premiered during the Princeton Environmental Forum to highlight the environmental research of HMEI (formerly the Princeton Environmental Institute) as it marked its 25th anniversary.
