Indian Ocean May Be More Disruptive to Tropical Climate Than Previously Believed

The Indian Ocean played a far greater role in driving climate change during the most recent ice age than previously believed and may disrupt climate again in the future. That’s according to a new study from The University of Texas at Austin, the findings of which could rewrite established Pacific-centric theories on tropical climate change.… Continue Reading Indian Ocean May Be More Disruptive to Tropical Climate Than Previously Believed
