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

When it comes to diatoms that live in the ocean, new research suggests that photosynthesis is not the only strategy for accumulating carbon. Instead, these single-celled plankton are also building ...

Scientists have discovered that piles of ancient lava rubble deep beneath the ocean floor can store massive amounts of carbon ...

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 ...

This image shows a comparison between the synthetic biology–engineered plant (right) and the wild-type plant. Dr. Liao’s team has developed a novel “McG plant” with a mechanism that recycles the ...

Researchers at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography have created a more accurate model of global carbon cycling. The model better accounts for the contributions of Earth’s terrestrial ...

The proposed demolition of Marks and Spencer’s flagship Oxford Street store has received widespread attention, and not for the reasons high profile developments often grab the headlines. In this ...

An independent standards development organization has verified the findings of an eco-efficiency analysis (EEA) of asphalt pavement technologies, which shows microsurfacing to be more economical and ...

Blue Carbon refers to organic carbon captured and stored by the ocean in vegetated coastal ecosystems such as mangrove forests, saltmarshes or seagrass meadows. In these Blue Carbon ecosystems, ...
