Dozens of companies and academic groups are pitching the same theory: that sinking rocks, nutrients, crop waste or seaweed in ...

Princeton University and Xiamen University researchers report that in tropical and subtropical oligotrophic waters, ocean ...

A growing industry is racing to engineer a solution to global warming using the absorbent power of the oceans.

Hurricanes move massive amounts of sediment from shallow reefs to deep oceans, affecting ecosystems long-term.

Ocean ecosystems play a critical role in carbon ... seagrasses and other forms of sea life interact sheds light on Earth’s carbon cycle. Carbon, a chemical element, is found in all organic ...

I recently visited the blue whales in the Sea of Cortez near Loreto, Mexico. These majestic mammals, the largest among us, are 85 feet long. They are an endangered species.

A group of scientists from the University of Oldenburg, Germany, has discovered how special bacteria in the ocean break down ...

According to a predictive model, the microalgae present in peat bogs could offset up to 14% of future CO2 emissions, thanks to their photosynthetic activity. This conclusion was reached by basing the ...

The authors use mid-latitude deep-water properties to infer carbon cycle changes in the polar Southern Ocean. They find biological and physical dynamics contributed to CO 2 release from the ...

Since physical and chemical erosion yield comparable carbon fluxes, studying both together is essential to avoid biases in erosion-driven carbon flux estimates.
