as part of what is called ‘the global carbon cycle.’ A change in any of these fluxes could have wide-ranging impacts on ecosystems and our climate. The IAEA Environment Laboratories apply nuclear and ...

A new study suggests that Mars may have once had an active carbon cycle, which could explain why the planet was warmer and wetter billions of years ago. Researchers analyzing data from NASA’s ...

It's in our bodies. It's in trees. It's in the oceans. There is, in fact, a carbon cycle as it moves around, and carbon has been moving in an unusual way. NPR's Christopher Joyce reports.

While researchers have long suspected that whales are key players in the ocean’s carbon cycle, quantifying exactly how these animals alter the seas — and what we lost with their decimation a ...

In a piece a few months ago, he described the carbon cycle — but in a way that helped frame virtually every other piece I read on climate change: Using sunlight, plants and microorganisms take ...

Researchers have successfully launched a new satellite that is designed to study the planet's forests and "provide unprecedented insight" into how those regions impact the Earth's carbon cycle ...

ESA's Biomass satellite, designed to provide unprecedented insights into the world's forests and their crucial role in Earth's carbon cycle, has been launched. The satellite lifted off aboard a ...

These tiny organisms, commonly called “forams,” are ubiquitous in marine environments and play a key role in food webs and the ocean carbon cycle. After exposing them to a range of acidity levels, UC ...
