During this formation CO2 splits off and is dissolved in a heavy cold brine, which gets squeezed out of the ice and sinks into the deeper parts of the ocean.

The next step will be a small pilot project
during which researchers plan to inject some
CO2 into the undersea
formation and see what happens — a process that will take at least three years.
A study recently published in Nature suggests that an extreme global warming event 56 million years ago known as the Palaeocene - Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) was driven by massive
CO2 emissions from volcanoes
during the
formation of the North Atlantic Ocean.
The occurrence of artefacts in earlier ice core records mainly from Greenland drill sites [enrichment of
CO2 due to chemical reactions in the ice; depletion of
CO2 due to fractionation
during clathrate
formation (5)-RSB- can be avoided by careful sample selection.
If you studied the effects on climate of mountains
formation and the Miin your geology modules, you shoule be aware that the variations of
CO2 during Earth's geological record were all caused by rapid temperature changes by means other than
CO2 variations, such as cycles in the Earth's orbit or geological processes that created large mountain ranges.
