As the sea surface cools down due to a hurricane, the ocean subsequently absorbs more carbon dioxide, as simulations at the ...

Plankton play a central role in a climate process that scientists now say may behave more aggressively than once thought. As ...

Scientists have uncovered new details explaining why iron oxide minerals are such effective long-term carbon traps in soils.

A team of researchers has used computer models to simulate tropical cyclones at high resolutions and investigate their effect ...

In the midst of the COVID pandemic, scientists embarked on an ambitious research expedition to the North Atlantic to ...

Deep carbon refers to the carbon found beneath the subsurface of the Earth, where ninety percent of the Earth’s carbon resides. This vital part of the carbon cycle impacts the oceans, atmosphere and ...

Scientists reveal how iron-rich soil minerals chemically trap carbon using multiple nanoscale bonding mechanisms.

Researchers at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography have created a more accurate model of global carbon cycling. The model better accounts for the contributions of Earth’s terrestrial ...

Plants do not rely only on their leaves to feed on carbon dioxide. A new study in Carbon Research reveals that maize roots ...

Every day beneath our feet, microbial decomposers tussle with soil minerals over a vast reservoir of carbon stored in the ground — and scientists know almost nothing about how this jostling plays out ...

Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most abundant and perhaps the most important to human life. Everywhere you look, ...
