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

Sinikka Lennartz, a junior professor of biogeochemical ocean modelling at the University of Oldenburg in northern Germany, has won several prestigious awards this year. She specialises in the marine ...

Blue Carbon refers to organic carbon captured and stored by the ocean in vegetated coastal ecosystems such as mangrove forests, saltmarshes or seagrass meadows. In these Blue Carbon ecosystems, ...

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

A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted by something. That might be a person’s lifestyle, a product’s supply chain, an organisation, or an activity. Everything from a banana ...

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