A refined mathematical model is now capable of predicting carbon inputs and outputs for freshwater lakes around the world, according to new research from INSTAAR’s Isabella Oleksy and collaborators.

While snowmelt is a major contributor to river flow, thawing permafrost is becoming increasingly important. Beneath the ...

Wetlands stand as immensely important carbon sinks within the global ecosystem, instrumental in absorbing greenhouse gases ...

Mars has not always been a seemingly lifeless red desert. We have evidence that billions of years ago it had a warm, habitable climate with liquid water in lakes and flowing rivers, which is somewhat ...

One in a new generation of computer climate models that include the effects of Earth’s carbon cycle indicates there are limits to the planet’s ability to absorb increased emissions of carbon dioxide.

Lakes have long been viewed as sources of carbon dioxide emissions, but new research suggests they may actually act as carbon sinks. A study led by Uppsala University reveals that lake shorelines ...

SARI's model tracks "embedded carbon" — the carbon footprint hidden inside a finished product — to show that the person or ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The direct injection of unwanted carbon dioxide deep into the ocean is one suggested strategy to help control rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and mitigate the effects of ...

China unveiled a new large model for carbon emission accounting on Wednesday, marking a major technological breakthrough in the global field of carbon accounting. Carbon emission accounting is a ...
