The world is adept at balancing the warming gases in its atmosphere, but anthropogenic climate change is challenging this balance. A new study reports that 34 percent of the Arctic-boreal zone (ABZ) is actually releasing more carbon than its storing, and that number climbs to 40 percent when considering wildfires.
Earth exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming above preindustrial times, a threshold beyond which wildfires, droughts, floods, and other climate impacts are expected to escalate in frequency, intensity,
A seemingly minor trickle of groundwater beneath Alaska’s tundra is quietly releasing vast amounts of carbon into the ocean. This finding comes from researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, who discovered that this hidden process is adding an estimated 230 tons of organic carbon per day into the Beaufort Sea during summer.
Though it's a cold, dead planet, Mars still has its own natural beauty about it. This image shows us something we'll never see on Earth.
A study from the U.S. Geological Survey found the ecosystems on California's public lands are losing the carbon they've locked up from the atmosphere faster than any other state, driven in large part by wildfires.
The Arctic region has shifted from storing carbon dioxide to releasing it into the atmosphere, according to the 2024 Arctic Report Card released by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing at rates that are incompatible with staying below 1.5 degrees Celsius (34.7 degrees Fahrenheit) of global warming, a Met Office study warns.
The change measured by the Mauna Loa Observatory was likely driven by wildfires and continued burning of fossil fuels, scientists say
Fractional carbon dioxide laser treatments are effective at reducing postsurgical scarring, particularly in the first month after surgery.
Backed by the powerful corn lobby, Marquis Energy’s push to bury carbon emissions underground has sparked a fierce debate in Illinois politics. The ethanol plant is banking on carbon capture technology to secure federal tax credits.
With carbon capture pipelines proliferating, U.S. regulators propose stricter rules to prevent a leak like on in Satartia, Mississippi, in 2020
The North Dakota Tax Commissioner’s Office and Energy & Environmental Research Center have released reports that forecast the economic potential of CO2-enhanced oil recovery in North Dakota.
