Disturbing ancient carbon stores buried deep in coastal ecosystems can trigger the release of destructive greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This shocking article could be used with year 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 students to demonstrate new discoveries in science. It would be particularly suited to Earth and Space, Biological and Chemical sciences when studying the carbon cycle, greenhouse gases and ecosystems.
