The ocean is a vast and complex web of intertwined systems. Chemistry, currents, temperature and nutrients all ebb and flow, each feeding back into the others. A multinational research team, led by UC ...
Carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) pollution drives climate change, warming the planet and threatening human survival. Plants naturally turn COâ‚‚ into oxygen (Oâ‚‚) during photosynthesis, but their efficiency is ...
Extensive sea ice covered the world's oceans during the last ice age, which prevented oxygen from penetrating into the deep ocean waters, complicating the relationship between oxygen and carbon.
As an essential material for the survival and reproduction of almost all aerobic organisms, oxygen is closely related to the formation and development of complex organisms. A recent review provides a ...
A new study suggests that a small fraction of marine microorganisms are responsible for most of the consumption of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide in the ocean. This surprising discovery came ...
The Lomagundi-Jatuli event, which occurred more than two billion years ago, followed the Great Oxygenation Event and was marked by a significant change in the isotopic composition of carbon. Its cause ...
Carbon dioxide is being converted into oxygen on Mars thanks to an invention undergoing testing that could lead to the colonization of the red planet. Day and night across the seasons, a ...
Marine viruses deploy a sophisticated Trojan horse maneuver that enables them to dismantle the energy systems of ocean bacteria and use the breakdown products for self-replication. This finding comes ...
