Carbon, a building block of life, is constantly moving through different environmental compartments such as biota, the atmosphere, the ocean, soil and sediment, as part of what is called ‘the global ...

The ocean is doing its best to soak up excess heat caused by greenhouse emissions, but once humanity (hopefully) achieves a ...

Recent research underscores the critical role that tiny ocean organisms play in Earth’s carbon cycle, a factor often ...

Carbon sustains life—but excess emissions are driving climate change. WWF is working to restore balance and protect our ...

A new review reveals how tiny shell-building plankton quietly drive carbon cycling and influence global climate change.

SINKER is an innovative new instrument equipped with advanced microscopes and cameras to collect detailed data about carbon ...

Researchers have developed a light-emitting sugar probe that exposes how marine microbes break down complex carbohydrates.

Phytoplankton are key players in the ocean carbon cycle. Comprised of a variety of microscopic photosynthesizing bacteria, algae, and other single-cell organisms, phytoplankton form the base of marine ...

Global warming poses a significant threat to human society. Rapid and substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are necessary measures to mitigate global warming. However, substantially ...
