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

Tropical cyclones are enormously powerful: The destructive wind speeds, fierce gusts, and intense rainfall leave obvious marks wherever they pass. They also affect the ocean. Because the storms stir ...

A world in warming, under most circumstances, tipping toward deep cooling does seem counterintuitive; yet, Earth's geological ...

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

Scientists have uncovered a missing feedback in Earth’s carbon cycle that could cause global warming to overshoot into an ice ...

Dr Nils Thonemann and Mona Delval consider the scientific and technical requirements for effective evaluation of emerging marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) approaches ...

Lava rubble at the bottom of the sea is acting like a giant "sponge" for carbon dioxide, ancient cores reveal.

Could a warming planet actually trigger a deep freeze? Discover how Earth’s tiny ocean organisms might flip the climate from ...

A research team led by scientists at Kumamoto University has discovered a new genus of microscopic crustaceans from northern ...

Permafrost holds thousands of years worth of microorganisms and carbon, and as it thaws in our warming climate, it releases ...

To achieve the 2 °C target, the total amount of carbon that can still be emitted by human activities is limited. This total allowable carbon emission—called the remaining carbon budget—is illustrated ...

Scientists have uncovered new details explaining why iron oxide minerals are such effective long-term carbon traps in soils.
