Carbonatitic Liquid Acts as Medium for Transferring Carbon from Slab to Subarc Mantle
Deep carbon cycle at subduction zones affects the long-term habitability of the surface of Earth by regulating atmospheric CO2 concentrations. However, how carbon is transferred from the slab to the subarc mantle remains unclear.Deep carbon cycle at subduction zones affects the long-term habitability of the surface of Earth by regulating atmospheric CO2 concentrations.

External Forcing Causes Multidecadal Co-variability in Southern Atlantic and Indian Oceans
Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the southern Atlantic and Indian Oceans (SAIOs) show prominent multidecadal variations, with notable impacts on rainfalls over Southern-Hemisphere continents. However, the origins of these variations remain uncertain.Sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the southern Atlantic and Indian Oceans (SAIOs) show prominent multidecadal variations, with notable impacts on rainfalls over Southern-Hemisphere continents.
