Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have discovered that tiny photosynthetic bacteria band together into ...

When most people hear the phrase "ocean acidification," they think of coral reefs, shellfish or declining fisheries. Those ...

When it comes to diatoms that live in the ocean, new research suggests that photosynthesis is not the only strategy for accumulating carbon. Instead, these single-celled plankton are also building ...

For the first time, scientists have resolved extremely intense tropical cyclones and their effect on the ocean carbon cycle in a global Earth system model. Using two category-4 hurricanes in the North ...

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 ...

A refined mathematical model is now capable of predicting carbon inputs and outputs for freshwater lakes around the world, according to new research from INSTAAR’s Isabella Oleksy and collaborators.

New research is changing how scientists view the ground beneath rugged terrain. A study led by researchers at the University of Oregon shows that hilly and mountainous landscapes store far more ...

The idea of animating the carbon cycle (ACC) is relatively new. The concept champions the role that healthy populations of wild animals, both terrestrial and marine, can play in boosting the ability ...

Research now demonstrates that the processes of inland water ecosystems transfer significant amounts of carbon through the burial of sediments and the outgassing of carbon to the atmosphere -- factors ...
