Rock Organic Carbon in Soils: Recycled or Just Passing Through

by Susan Trumbore 5 May 20251 May 2025

It’s often assumed that all soil organic carbon ultimately derives from recent vegetation, but researchers argue that carbon inherited from parent rocks can be important and deserves more focus.

Characterizing the Space Between Clouds and Clear Sky

by Susan Trumbore 7 February 20257 February 2025

The area near clouds is often classified as ‘clear sky’, but a new study demonstrates the potential biases of misclassifying these transition zones and their significance for Earth’s energy budget.

How Southern Ocean Currents Modulate Global Biogeochemical Cycles

by Susan Trumbore 14 January 202514 January 2025

Swirling currents called mesoscale eddies occupy about 22% of the ice-free Southern Ocean. Using data from drifting floats and satellites, scientists report the impact these eddies have on biogeochemical cycles.

Clumped CO Isotopes – New Tracers for Atmospheric Chemistry

by Susan Trumbore 30 October 202430 October 2024

A new study reports the first measurements of 13C18O in atmospheric carbon monoxide (CO) and show their variations reflect chemical ‘aging’ consistent with predicted kinetic isotope effects.
