Angela Hewitt urges awareness of carbon emissions' impact on climate and offers a 12 point plan that will help the planet's ...

Learn how the carbon cycle works and how greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane disrupt it, shaping climate change ...

Researchers at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography have created a more accurate model of global carbon cycling. The model better accounts for the contributions of Earth’s terrestrial ...

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 ...

As global temperatures continue to rise, scientists are working to understand how warming affects the planet’s carbon cycle.

The carbon cycle in our oceans is critical to the balance of life in ocean waters and for reducing carbon in the atmosphere, a significant process to curbing climate change or global warming. A study ...

Plankton play a central role in a climate process that scientists now say may behave more aggressively than once thought. As ...

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 ...

Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most abundant and perhaps the most important to human life. Everywhere you look, ...

This image shows a comparison between the synthetic biology–engineered plant (right) and the wild-type plant. Dr. Liao’s team has developed a novel “McG plant” with a mechanism that recycles the ...
