Scientists have uncovered new details explaining why iron oxide minerals are such effective long-term carbon traps in soils.

In the midst of the COVID pandemic, scientists embarked on an ambitious research expedition to the North Atlantic to investigate the inner workings of the ocean’s carbon cycle. A series of storms ...

Learn how the carbon cycle works and how greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane disrupt it, shaping climate change ...

Every day beneath our feet, microbial decomposers tussle with soil minerals over a vast reservoir of carbon stored in the ground — and scientists know almost nothing about how this jostling plays out ...

As global temperatures continue to rise, scientists are working to understand how warming affects the planet’s carbon cycle.

Ancient carbon thought to be safely stored underground for millennia is unexpectedly resurfacing literally. A sweeping international study has found that over half of the carbon gases released by ...

While scientists have long known that iron oxide minerals help lock away enormous amounts of carbon—sequestering it from the atmosphere—a new Northwestern University study now reveals exactly why ...

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 ...
