The Lomagundi-Jatuli event, which occurred more than two billion years ago, followed the Great Oxygenation Event and was ...

Single-celled algae in the ocean known as coccolithophores play an important role in the marine carbon cycle when they take ...

Learn how the carbon cycle works and how greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane disrupt it, shaping climate change ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Reaching net-zero carbon emissions goals requires finding transformative paths to manage carbon in difficult-to-electrify economic sectors. A major approach to achieving net-zero carbon emissions ...

Is the world’s largest rainforest about to turn into a net carbon emitter? New research suggests that the Amazon is entering into a “hypertropical” state a climate regime hotter and drier than ...

A new study shows how digital building models can be used to pinpoint where carbon emissions occur across a building’s entire ...

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

Interest in supercritical CO2 cycles has been growing in the field of clean power generation from fossil fuels. Numerous ...

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, ...
