A new study suggests that a series of big "burps" of carbon dioxide could have changed our oceans around 300 million years ago. Published in PNAS, the study identifies five instances in which ...

Divers from Dokuz Eylül University (DEU) Institute of Marine Sciences and Technology conduct a project to determine the carbon sequestration capacity of the endemic Posidonia Oceanica seagrasses of ...

There is growing interest in the scientific community and private sector in biological approaches to marine carbon dioxide ...

Researchers found that eroded lava rubble beneath the South Atlantic can trap enormous amounts of CO2 for tens of millions of years. These porous breccia deposits store far more carbon than previously ...

Excess carbon dioxide emitted by human activities—such as fossil fuel burning, land-use changes, and deforestation—is known as anthropogenic carbon dioxide. Approximately thirty percent of this ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The direct injection of unwanted carbon dioxide deep into the ocean is one suggested strategy to help control rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and mitigate the effects of ...

A new study of sediment cores shows a series of massive emissions of carbon dioxide over a 20 million year period about 300 million years ago. These CO2 emissions happened at the same time as drops in ...
