In a step toward better understanding how the ocean sequesters carbon, new findings from UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators challenge the ...

A new study suggests that a series of big "burps" of carbon dioxide could have changed our oceans around 300 million years ago. Published in PNAS, the study identifies five instances in which ...

Seafloor lava rubble stores far more carbon than solid rock, revealing a long-overlooked carbon sink shaping Earth’s climate over time.

Sixty-million-year-old rock samples from deep under the ocean have revealed how huge amounts of carbon dioxide are stored for ...

Divers from Dokuz Eylül University (DEU) Institute of Marine Sciences and Technology conduct a project to determine the carbon sequestration capacity of the endemic Posidonia Oceanica seagrasses of ...

Coral reefs have long been celebrated as biodiversity hotspots—but new research shows they have also played a much deeper ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The direct injection of unwanted carbon dioxide deep into the ocean is one suggested strategy to help control rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and mitigate the effects of ...

Iron-based fertilizer may stimulate plankton to pull carbon dioxide from the ocean, driving a carbon-negative process. The urgent need to remove excess carbon dioxide from Earth's environment could ...

Back in 2012, a California businessman sailed a boat into the waters off western Canada and dumped 100 tons of iron filings into the Pacific Ocean. The goal was to to spawn an enormous bloom of ...

The Equatic Process, a novel carbon removal technology and one of the best inventions of 2023, is getting a major scale-up, with the world’s largest ocean carbon dioxide removal (OCDR) facility set to ...
