Dear John, We believe that bio levering a small amount of iron into the Southern Ocean will lead to 10 times more DMS flux in the regions fertilized and can greatly augment existing cloud reflectivity and possibly slow the Antarctic ice loss. We presented these ideas at last year’s AGU and 2008 EGU. We are presently finishing up the GCM modeling and should have another more detailed paper out in the Spring.
