Real Climate Solutions Are Beneath Us

by Peter Reiners 2 May 20252 May 2025

It’s time to accept that durable subsurface carbon storage, along with emissions reductions, must be part of the plan to mitigate the effects of climate change—and geoscience must play a central role.

An Air Parcel’s Journey Through the Stratosphere

by Hella Garny 25 April 202525 April 2025

The “age of stratospheric air” measures the speed of the global transport circulation in the stratosphere, which is crucial for understanding the distribution of important trace gases, like ozone.

Ancient Climate Reconstruction Links Past and Future

Aaron Sidder, freelance science writer by Aaron Sidder 4 February 20254 February 2025

A new map of climate conditions during the Pliocene epoch—the last time Earth’s carbon dioxide concentrations hit 400 parts per million—could offer clues about possible climatic changes in store for the 21st century.

Turning Carbon into Stone: Unlocking Mineralization in Fractured Rock

by Haylea Nisbet and Hari Viswanathan 29 January 202529 January 2025

Carbon mineralization is a promising solution for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, but we must learn to optimize the complex interplay between reactions and mechanics in fractures to develop a scalable solution.

Centennial-Scale Jumps in CO2 Driven by Earth’s Tilt

Katherine Kornei, Science Writer by Katherine Kornei 8 November 20248 November 2024

Antarctic ice records uncovered seven previously unknown jumps in atmospheric carbon dioxide. These events may have been driven by changes in Earth’s tilt.
