The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is the system of currents responsible for shuttling warm water ...

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 ...

Over the past four years, the Biden Administration relied extensively on integrated assessment models (IAMs) to quantify the economic effects of carbon-dioxide emissions via a construct known as the ...

The basics of photosynthesis are something that every student learns in school: carbon dioxide, water and light in; oxygen ...

Chemically, carbon dioxide is incredibly simple—it is just one carbon atom linked with two oxygen atoms. Together they create a colorless gas that makes up just a tiny fraction of the Earth's ...

New findings challenge climate models by revealing the Southern Ocean's unexpected, but also transient, resilience as a carbon sink.
