New MBARI research has revealed that the sea cucumber Pelagothuria natatrix plays an important and unexpected role in the ...

In the deep sea, it never stops snowing. The type of snow that falls in the ocean, known as marine snow, is very different ...

A new process-based model reveals that termites process roughly 1,569 teragrams of carbon per year, making them a substantial ...

On the surface, the arid expanses of the Mojave Desert may seem inhospitable and largely removed from the global carbon cycle. But beneath the surface, its mineral-rich soils are running a carbon ...

Satellite carbon dioxide observations detect more carbon-cycle extremes than ground stations but still miss many events and underestimate their magnitude.

The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle focused on carbon and how it is sequestered in and moves between different reservoirs in the Earth system. A method developed to directly measure fungal ...

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 ...

A refined mathematical model is now capable of predicting carbon inputs and outputs for freshwater lakes around the world, according to new research from INSTAAR’s Isabella Oleksy and collaborators.

Geologists doing fieldwork in southeastern Utah's Cedar Mountain Formation found carbon isotope evidence that the site, though on land, experienced the same early Cretaceous carbon-cycle change ...
