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 ...

Data Assimilation is a type of technology based on the mathematical principles of combining as much data as possible with explicit dynamical models to constrain the evolution of a dynamic system. It ...

Recent research underscores the critical role that tiny ocean organisms play in Earth’s carbon cycle, a factor often overlooked in climate models. These microorganisms are pivotal in driving the ocean ...

Terrestrial ecosystems play a critical role in regulating Earth’s climate by removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the ...

Mesopelagic fish, long overlooked in ocean chemistry, are now proven to excrete carbonate minerals much like their shallow-water counterparts—despite living in dark, high-pressure depths. Using the ...

A previously unknown connection between geological atmospheric carbon dioxide cycles and the fluctuating capacity of the ocean crust to store carbon dioxide has been uncovered by two geoscientists ...

Plants play a huge role in shaping Earth’s climate. Through photosynthesis, they pull carbon dioxide (CO₂) out of the air. This massive exchange—called gross primary production (GPP)—is the largest ...
