 io Current Extension (KCE) is the major northwest Pacific Ocean western bo
 undary current as part of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. This region 
 is home to some of the highest biodiversity in our world ocean today. This
  high biodiversity sustains Japan’s fishing industry\, and supplies food f
 or millions of people around the world. In addition\, the current plays a 
 large role in dispersal dynamics of marine organisms\, such as the Japanes
 e eel\, and may be an area that promotes speciation. Today\, the KCE is wa
 rming and shifting northward under increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide l
 evels. However\, it is currently unknown to what extent the current can sh
 ift north\, how warm it can become and the rate of warming\, and how these
  factors will affect marine organisms living in the current. To begin answ
 ering these questions\, this study reconstructs the behavior of the KCE du
 ring the Pliocene to earliest Pleistocene (5–2.5 Ma)\, a time of tectonic 
 gateway closure and climate shifts\, when atmospheric CO2 levels were simi
 lar to today. Using stable isotopic analyses from surface dwelling plankti
 c foraminifera from three Ocean Drilling Program sites that lie across the
  modern-day position of the KCE\, we find that the current was highly sens
 itive to major global warming and cooling events. We also identify several
  times at which the current may have experienced latitudinal shifts. These
  data\, combined with additional datasets\, indicate the KCE has the poten
 tial to greatly warm under increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentra
 tions such as those projected for the future.\n\nhttps://mcgill.zoom.us/j/
