A newly published study reveals that warmer temperatures and thawing soils may be driving an increase in emissions of carbon dioxide from Alaskan tundra to…
NASA’s new global view of carbon dioxide builds on the agency’s previous satellite measurements of carbon dioxide and combines them with a sophisticated Earth system…
New research shows that high concentrations of dissolved carbon dioxide in ocean water coincides with rises in atmospheric carbon dioxide and global temperatures at the…
A new study reveals a natural impediment to the long-term sequestration of carbon dioxide, showing that as carbon dioxide works its way underground only a…
A newly published study from NASA scientists shows that tropical forests, like the one pictured above, absorb more atmospheric carbon dioxide than boreal forests. A…
This three minute video shows how carbon dioxide in the atmosphere travels around the globe over a 12 month period. An ultra-high-resolution NASA computer model…
NASA is about to launch the Orbiting Carbon Observatory – a satellite dedicated to the study of global carbon dioxide sources that will help researchers…
Researchers at Berkeley Lab have developed an analytical method that combines satellite images, simulation modeling and fieldwork to help detect forest mortality patterns and trends,…
Europe’s carbon-trading market and tougher emission targets make it appear somewhat more responsible than the rest of the world at climate-policy negotiations. But recently, the…
Scientists at MARUM and the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology explore the unique diets of methane consuming microorganisms. Methane is formed under the absence…
A recently published study from scientists at the Berkeley Lab, in collaboration with researchers at SUNY Upstate Medical University, found that moderately high indoor concentrations…
As carbon dioxide levels continue to climb in the Earth’s atmosphere, most current climate models project that the world’s oceans and trees will keep soaking…
A newly published study gives the first “bottom-up” estimates of China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for 2005 – 2009, combining the results of Chinese field…
By using data gathered from instruments onboard the Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, scientists at MIT have calculated the size of snow particles…
New research from the Max Planck Institute examines the role of cryptogamic covers in the global exchange of oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen. Covering approximately 30%…
Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Delaware are working together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. They believe a…
By using fumed silica impregnated with polyethlenimine, researchers at the USC Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute aim to recycle harmful excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere….
