Explore the impact of chlorofluorocarbons on the world's oceans in this 58-minute Sverdrup Lecture from the AGU Fall Meeting 2008. Presented by Rana A. Fine from the Rosenstiel School at the University of Miami, the talk delves into how these compounds serve as unintended indicators of oceanic changes. Gain insights into the role of CFCs in marine ecosystems, their effects on ocean circulation, and what they reveal about the health of our planet's waters. Learn about cutting-edge research in oceanography and atmospheric science, and understand the far-reaching consequences of human activities on global ocean systems.
