A new study, led by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Columbia University, identifies a diverse set of ...

PENNSYLVANIA, USA — Carbon: the backbone of all life on earth. Economies, homes, and transportation are powered by it. But humans are putting out more of it than ever before, and it’s resulting in one ...

Reaching net-zero carbon emissions goals requires finding transformative paths to manage carbon in difficult-to-electrify economic sectors. A major approach to achieving net-zero carbon emissions ...

Tiny, single-celled phytoplankton called Prochlorococcus marinus shed specific molecular building blocks that feed vast networks of ocean bacteria, shaping how carbon moves through marine ecosystems.

Carbon is found all around the Earth, including in our bodies. While most of the carbon can be found in the geosphere, it is also found in all living things, soil, in the ocean, and in the atmosphere.

When it comes to diatoms that live in the ocean, new research suggests that photosynthesis is not the only strategy for accumulating carbon. Instead, these single-celled plankton are also building ...

The idea of animating the carbon cycle (ACC) is relatively new. The concept champions the role that healthy populations of wild animals, both terrestrial and marine, can play in boosting the ability ...

Beaver-built wetlands can store carbon in stream sediments up to 10 times faster than unmodified waterways, according to a ...
