When bottom trawls are dragged across the seafloor, they stir up sediments. This not only releases previously stored organic carbon, but also intensifies the oxidation of pyrite, a mineral present in ...

A new study led by Jochen Knies from the iC3 Polar Research Hub has found worrying signs that climate change may be ...

Scientists are worried because they can’t fully explain the big jump, but they think it might mean that carbon absorption by forests, fields and wetlands is slowing down—a major problem for the world.

The resuspension of seafloor sediments—triggered by human activities such as bottom trawling as well as natural processes ...

A new study lays out a scientific framework for holding individual fossil fuel companies liable for the costs of climate change by tracing specific damages back to their emissions. The researchers use ...

As part of The World's ongoing series The Big Fix, Host Carolyn Beeler speaks with Susanna Lidström, a researcher at the KTH ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover has uncovered a missing piece in the puzzle of Mars' past atmosphere. Scientists discovered ...

Water-related ecosystems (WRE) are well known to provide many economic, social and environmental functions and have considerable value, particularly in ...

Glaciers, those massive rivers of ice that carve through mountain landscapes, have long been viewed as frozen giants, ...

Glaciers carry unique organic carbon fingerprints that reflect geography and pollution, influencing ecosystems downstream.

So, the study authors point out, how microbes utilize this organic material has a major influence on the global carbon cycle. When there is a shift in the types of organisms living on a reef ...

Microalgae, belonging to the diverse group of photosynthetic microorganisms, play pivotal roles in global ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles. They contribute significantly to carbon fixation and ...
