How Glaciations Increased Productions Near Antarctica?
q The deep-ocean circulation in the Antarctica brings abundant nutrients up
into the surface water, which is not fully utilized by photosynthesis due
to the brief summer seasons.
q During glacial intervals in the Antarctic region, increased carbon
pumping out of surface water could occur either because
      (1) nutrient-rich waters remained at the surface longer, or
      (2) higher glacial nutrient levels stimulated more productivity.
