Sea level changes helped stabilise Earth's climate over 60 million years, study finds
A new study has uncovered a natural mechanism that may have kept Earth's climate stable for the past 60 million years. Researchers found that fluctuations in sea level controlled how much phosphate flowed into the oceans. This, in turn, influenced marine life activity, the burial of carbon beneath the seafloor, and atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. The findings provide a fresh explanation for how Earth has naturally balanced long-term warming and cooling cycles over geological timescales.
