Forests are great carbon sinks—they absorb more carbon from the atmosphere than they release. Globally, forests remove nearly all of the 2 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide that is currently being removed from the atmosphere ...
A 15-year period ending in 2020 that included a marine heat wave and a sea star wasting disease epidemic saw major changes in the groups of organisms that live along the rocky shores of the Pacific Northwest.
A new study offers first-time insights into three emerging climate innovations to safeguard or increase the carbon naturally captured by ocean and coastal ecosystems: rapid interventions to save the Great Barrier Reef, satellite-tracked ...
For years, various models have been developed to describe an important class of mixing effects that occur, for example, in the flow in a chemical reactor. Experimental validation, however, has lagged far behind due to the ...
Chemists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, Stony Brook University (SBU), and their collaborators have uncovered new details of the reversible assembly and disassembly of a platinum catalyst. ...
The movement of carbon between the atmosphere, oceans and continents—the carbon cycle—is a fundamental process that regulates Earth's climate. Some factors, like volcanic eruptions or human activity, emit carbon dioxide ...
A research team have developed a high-efficiency photocatalyst that converts carbon dioxide (CO2), a major contributor to climate change, into natural gas (methane, CH4). The team is led by Professor In Soo-il of the Department ...
Plastics made of polycarbonate are sought-after materials in industrial applications thanks to their versatility and high quality. However, recycling of plastic waste is still running up against limits these days, as mechanical ...
The recent spike in food prices isn't just bad news for your grocery bill. It also impacts the sugars used in biomanufacturing, which, by the way, isn't quite as green as scientists and climate advocates expected. Surging ...
A fungus living in the sea can break down the plastic polyethylene, provided it has first been exposed to UV radiation from sunlight. Researchers from, among others, NIOZ published their results in the journal Science of ...
