and identifying trends and variability in ocean carbon sinks. Recent studies have provided valuable insights into the carbon exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean. One study estimated that ...
If climate change continues to rapidly weaken the planet’s ocean and land carbon sinks, it will be even more difficult to avoid dangerous levels of warming. The ocean currently absorbs a quarter ...
The distribution of sources and sinks at land and ocean surfaces is then optimized for observed atmospheric CO 2 concentrations. This approach has confirmed the location of the residual carbon ...
This chemical reaction makes the ocean the planet’s largest carbon sink, a term referring to a natural or man-made reservoir that absorbs more carbon than it releases. The new technology aims to ...
Kiel. How can seagrass help combat climate change? This question is the focus of the new research project ZOBLUC (“Zostera marina as a Blue Carbon Sink in the Baltic Sea”), which now starts under the ...
These sink to the ocean floor when they die, contributing to long-term carbon storage. Yet, the factors driving calcification remain poorly understood. This new study focused on Trilobatus ...
The Arctic Ocean may be ground zero for climate change ... As such, the Arctic is one of the most important carbon sinks on our planet, and if it starts working against us, then climate change ...
