Researchers Study Cave’s ‘Breathing’ for Better Climate Clues
A University of Arkansas researcher studying the way caves “breathe” is providing new insights into the process by which scientists study paleoclimates.
Katherine Knierim, a graduate student at the University of Arkansas, together with Phil Hays of the geosciences department and the U.S. Geological Survey and Erik Pollock of the University of Arkansas Stable Isotope Laboratory, are conducting close examinations of carbon cycling in an Ozark cave. Caves “breathe” in the sense that air flows in and out as air pressure changes.
