Silicate rock weathering has a sweet spot: erosion that isn’t too fast or too slow.
carbon capture & sequestration
هل يمكن لغمر الأعشاب البحرية أن يبرّد المناخ؟.
يمكن للأعشاب البحرية المغمورة أن تخزّن الكربون في قاع المحيط، ولكن يظل من غير الواضح مدى فاعلية هذه الاستراتيجية، وكيف ستؤثر على صحة المحيط.
Scientists Quantify Blue Carbon in Bahamas Seagrass
The island nation’s underwater fields store huge reserves of carbon, though not as much as scientists thought.
Comparing Carbon-Trapping Capacities of Anoxic Basins
Low-oxygen regions in the ocean could be prime spots for sequestering biomass—a potential strategy for fighting climate change. But each site has its pros and cons.
OneHealth, Climate Change, and Infectious Microbes
AGU and ASM welcome submissions to a joint special collection focusing on the impacts of climate change and microbes on human well-being.
A Closer Look-Sea at the Ocean’s Carbon Cycle
In the February issue of Eos, we dive deep to better understand opportunities, challenges, and ongoing mysteries posed by carbon’s role in marine environments.
Can Submerging Seaweed Cool the Climate?
Submerged seaweed can store carbon at the bottom of the ocean, but how effective the strategy will be—and how it will affect ocean health—remains unclear.
A Transformative Carbon Sink in the Ocean?
Water-rock reactions in some hydrothermal systems produce both hydrogen, which could be tapped for clean energy, and alkaline solutions that could help draw down atmospheric carbon dioxide.
An Electrifying Approach to Carbon Capture
A new sodium-ion “battery” promises an environmentally friendly method of sequestering carbon in the ocean, but experts remain cautious.
Diverse Forests Store More Carbon Than Monocultures
Adding even just one more tree species can increase forest productivity, a new meta-analysis shows.
