The carbon cycle in our oceans is critical to the balance of life in ocean waters and for reducing carbon in the atmosphere, ...

Coral reefs have long been celebrated as biodiversity hotspots—but new research shows they have also played a much deeper ...

UCSB research offers a new perspective on how carbon is stored in the deep ocean and what it could mean for maintaining Earth ...

New drilling results from the South Atlantic have uncovered ancient lava rubble that stores far more CO2 than expected, ...

Bogs show a climate shift 15000 years ago. Changing winds shaped rainfall and ocean carbon, and similar wind changes matter for our future.

Plants pull carbon from air during photosynthesis. They store carbon in leaves, wood and roots. This process supports the global carbon cycle.

Sixty-million-year-old rock samples from deep under the ocean have revealed how huge amounts of carbon dioxide are stored for ...

New research shows Africa’s forests now release more carbon than they absorb. This raises global climate risks and calls for ...

Phytoplankton are key players in the ocean carbon cycle. Comprised of a variety of microscopic photosynthesizing bacteria, algae, and other single-cell organisms, phytoplankton form the base of marine ...

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 ...

Researchers from the University of Sydney and Université Grenoble Alpes have found that the Earth system flips between two ...
