Warming Temperatures Increasingly Alter Structure of Atmosphere
Climate change is having an increasing impact on the structure of Earth’s atmosphere, a new international study shows.
Repurposing Carbon Dioxide May Be Key to Net-Zero Emissions
While a very small percentage of the atmosphere, carbon dioxide plays a vital role in sustaining life on our planet. However, if this delicate balance is disrupted, excess carbon dioxide can pose a formidable threat to our environment and the living beings that reside within.
Climate Benefits From Modest Dips in Oil Demand Likely Underestimated
A decreasing reliance on oil for fuel will inevitably decrease the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere throughout the fuel’s lifecycle, from extraction and refining to combustion as it’s used by consumers.
Convex Launches Seascape Survey Partnership with Blue Marine Foundation
Bringing together a multidisciplinary team made up of world-class ocean and blue carbon scientists, this ambitious five-year global research programme is the largest attempt yet to build a greater understanding of the properties and capabilities of the ocean and its continental shelves in the earth’s carbon cycle, in the urgent effort to slow climate change.
Radiocarbon Is Key to Understanding Earth’s Past
Radiocarbon records are critical to understanding the history of Earth’s climate, magnetic field, and the Sun’s activity, say researchers.
