Using fine-grained vegetation maps, the researchers documented large amounts of previously unrecognized greenery scattered in small spots even in highly develop...
Using machine learning to forecast amine emissions
Jan 05, 2023 (SPX)
This is done in dedicated carbon-capture plants, whose chemical process involves amines, compounds that are already used to capture carbon dioxide from natural ...
Warmer biosphere reduces organic carbon sequestation beneath oceans
Jan 05, 2023 (SPX)
Their study, published this week in Nature, suggests climate warming could reduce organic carbon burial and increase the amount of carbon that's returned to the...
New method helps understand the global organic carbon cycle
Jan 05, 2023 (SPX)
To do this, they used data from deep-sea drilling at 81 global sites to determine the history of organic carbon burial during the Neogene (about 23 to 3 million...
Airbus delivers MicroCarb instrument, the first European mission to measure atmospheric CO2
Dec 12, 2022 (SPX)
MicroCarb is a small satellite designed to map sources and sinks of carbon dioxide (CO2)-the most important greenhouse gas - on a global scale, to better unders...
Symbiotic CO2 sequestration
Dec 12, 2022 (SPX)
