Abstract:
Gases trapped within Arctic, Antarctic and Greenland ice-cores document a dramatic increase in atmospheric CO 2 levels (by almost 100%) in the period between the last glacial maximum and the late Holocene. The authors note an apparent correlation between increases in levels of atmospheric CO 2 during this period and an episode of mass deposition of freshwater carbonate tufas and travertines. As changes in atmospheric CO 2 levels are likely to affect carbonate deposition (Tucker and Wright, 1990), we propose the hypothesis that a relationship exists between increasing atmospheric CO 2 levels and tufa deposition.
