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 ...

A new NASA-backed study has found an unexpected effect of Greenland’s melting ice: the runoff is causing a surge in tiny ocean life. This could have implications for the marine ecosystem and the ...

Mesopelagic fish, long overlooked in ocean chemistry, are now proven to excrete carbonate minerals much like their shallow-water counterparts—despite living in dark, high-pressure depths. Using the ...

If current production of carbon from fossil fuels continues unabated, by the end of the century the land and oceans will be less able to take up carbon than they are today, the model indicates.

The molten rock was hot enough to melt the surrounding rocks and release massive amounts of carbon dioxide into Earth’s atmosphere over a period as short as 50,000 years but possibly as long as ...

The model crunched more than 300,000 possible scenarios of carbon dioxide emissions, sulfur dioxide output, and biological productivity in the 1 million years before and after the K–Pg extinction.

We then used a recently developed carbon cycle model called SCION to test our hypothesis numerically. When we analysed our model results we found that the initial increase in temperature from the ...
