Chemists at Stanford University transformed minerals in rocks to absorb carbon dioxide out of the air. Matthew Kanan, senior author of a new study, explained that while the Earth has an endless supply ...

Analysis of a 2001 sediment core reveals thinning of the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet, reducing CO2's absorption capability in the Southern Ocean.

Ocean fronts are most common in mid-to-high latitudes where colliding water masses drive downwelling and upwelling that bring nutrient-rich deep water to the surface, fueling massive phytoplankton ...

Narrow bands of ocean covering just over one-third of the world's seas are responsible for absorbing nearly three-quarters of ...

As Earth warms, the Arctic Ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is waning due to melting permafrost and worsening coastal erosion, according to new research. A study published ...

Burning fossil fuels and other human activities have raised the amount of heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere by more than 50 percent compared to 200 years ago. But that's a ...

The last time the atmosphere contained as much carbon dioxide as it does now, dinosaurs roamed what was then a verdant landscape. The earth’s lushness was at least partly caused by the abundance of ...

The carbon dioxide removal company Equatic has begun designing its largest plant yet. The project will be North America's first commercial-scale CDR plant, scheduled to go online by 2027. Many ...

To safeguard the oceans and preserve their ability to absorb carbon dioxide, they outline key priorities, which include reducing single-use plastics, improving waste management, promoting ...
