Australian Researchers Set Record for Carbon Dioxide Capture

Researchers from Monash University and the CSIRO have set a record for carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) using technology that resembles a sponge filled with tiny magnets.

Reduced Ocean Carbon Sink is Related to Slow Growth Rate of Atmospheric CO2

Volcanic eruptions and human-caused changes to the atmosphere strongly influence the rate at which the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide, says a new study.

Smaller Fires Enhance Peatlands' Long-Term Storage of Carbon

High-intensity fires can destroy peat bogs and cause them to emit huge amounts of their stored carbon into the atmosphere as greenhouse gases, but a new Duke University study finds low-severity fires spark the opposite outcome.

New Study Finds Lakes Have Tripled the Amount of Carbon They Bury in Response to Human Disruption of Global Nutrient Cycles

A new study led by Loughborough University has revealed that lake burial of organic carbon has increased three-fold over the last 100 years in response to human disruption of global nutrient cycles.

Long-Living Tropical Trees Play Larger Role in Carbon Storage Than Previously Thought

A group of trees that grow fast, live long lives and reproduce slowly account for the bulk of the biomass--and carbon storage--in some tropical rainforests, a team of scientists says in a paper published this week in the journal Science.

Mature Forests Have Limited Ability to Absorb "Extra" Carbon

Research published today in Nature suggests mature forests are limited in their ability to absorb "extra" carbon as atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations increase. These findings may have implications for New York state's carbon neutrality goals.
