More Bubbles Means More Variation in Ocean Carbon Storage

by Saima May Sidik 8 July 20258 July 2025

A new model accounting for the role of bubbles in air-sea gas exchanges suggests that ocean carbon uptake is more variable than previously thought.

Dry Heat, Wet Heat, and Wetland Methane Emissions

Aaron Sidder, freelance science writer by Aaron Sidder 20 November 202420 November 2024

Compound weather events—such as extreme cold or heat combined with severe dryness or precipitation—have a greater effect on wetland methane emissions than discrete weather extremes do.

Thawing Permafrost Is Affecting Climate, but It’s Unclear by How Much

by Saima May Sidik 29 October 202429 October 2024

Models produce widely varying estimates of how ecosystems in the northern permafrost region are currently affecting the global greenhouse gas budget.

Each Glacier Has a Unique Organic Matter Composition

by Saima May Sidik 15 October 202415 October 2024

Like snowflakes, no two glaciers are alike: Carbon-containing compounds released from glaciers vary from place to place, meaning climate and ecosystem effects of melting could vary as well.
