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 ...

For the first time, scientists have resolved extremely intense tropical cyclones and their effect on the ocean carbon cycle ...

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 ...

The carbon stored globally by plants is shorter-lived and more vulnerable to climate change than previously thought, according to a new study. The carbon stored globally by plants is shorter-lived and ...

Terrestrial ecosystems play a critical role in regulating Earth’s climate by removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the ...

Mesopelagic fish, long overlooked in ocean chemistry, are now proven to excrete carbonate minerals much like their shallow-water counterparts—despite living in dark, high-pressure depths. Using the ...

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

Plants play a huge role in shaping Earth’s climate. Through photosynthesis, they pull carbon dioxide (CO₂) out of the air. This massive exchange—called gross primary production (GPP)—is the largest ...

Mars has not always been a seemingly lifeless red desert. We have evidence that billions of years ago it had a warm, habitable climate with liquid water in lakes and flowing rivers, which is somewhat ...
