(CN) Scientists have discovered new evidence indicating a massive dip in atmospheric carbon dioxide enabled dinosaurs to migrate from South America to Greenland.
In their study, published Monday in the journal Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences, Dennis Kent, an adjunct research scientist at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, and Lars Clemmensen from the University of Copenhagen discuss their findings and likely theories.
