Arctic regions have captured and stored carbon for tens of thousands of years, but a new study shows winter carbon emissions from the Arctic may…
In satellite images, the algae carpets with their light streaks look like works of art. In the 70,000 square kilometre wide Deutsche Bucht alone, algal…
Researchers develop process for carbon dioxide conversion. University of Sydney researchers are drawing inspiration from leaves to reduce carbon emissions, using nanotechnology to develop a…
Research by Mark Z. Jacobson, professor of civil and environmental engineering, suggests that carbon capture technologies are inefficient and increase air pollution. Given this analysis,…
