Texas A&M Geoscientist Finds Link Between Antarctic Ice and Carbon Dioxide

A Texas A&M University researcher has helped uncover a mystery regarding Antarctic ice formation 34 million years ago, and for the first time, has showed a relationship of how declining carbon dioxide levels contributed to accumulations of the ice in effect, a reverse of the "greenhouse effect."
