In the new study, the team amassed previously collected carbon dioxide data over large swaths of the Southern Ocean during three separate series of aircraft flights — one series lasting from ...

A startup called Gigablue claims to have reached a milestone by selling 200,000 carbon credits for its ocean-based carbon ...

Ancient limestones reveal how volcanic carbon once suffocated the oceans - offering a stark warning as modern oxygen levels ...

The ocean plays a major role in the global carbon cycle. The driving force comes from tiny plankton that produce organic carbon through photosynthesis, like plants on land. When plankton die or ...

If carbon dioxide is giving the ocean acid reflux, Eisaman says, think of this as giving it a Tums. “Nature has shown us what works,” says Ben Tarbell, another co-founder.

While the ocean carbon cycle is well documented, ... As a result, the land, which is deduced from observed atmospheric carbon dioxide and the assumed ocean sink in the same region, ...
