- What are the most important themes you have learned this week? Acidification can affect ocean marine systems that will can an impact on humans. The Antarctic ice sheets are buttressed and these may be weakening. However, melting there isn't necessarily due to AGW it may be because of changes in wind patterns, for example, or El Non/La Nina.
- What aspect of this week did you find difficult? The mechanism for the melting of Antarctic ice sheets.
- What did you find most interesting? And why? The Antarctic ice sheet issue, because I was a little less clear on that before this week, whereas I was a little better informed on acidification.
- Was there something that you learned this week that prompted you to do your own research? Marine species extinction prompted me to look at earlier mass extinction.
- Are there any web sites or other online resource that you found particularly useful in furthering your knowledge and understanding? The Abrupt Impacts of Climate Change by White, Alley et al which is online.
