It was a simple and powerful demonstration. At the end, he concluded that by burning fossil fuels, we move carbon from the slow, old carbon cycle to the fast, young carbon cycle. The talk shaped the ...

The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle focused on carbon and how it is sequestered in and moves between different reservoirs in the Earth system. Latest Research and Reviews.

Nature - A global analysis reveals that most carbon dioxide emitted by rivers derives not from modern plant material, as was thought, but from ancient, buried carbon.

Most of Earth’s carbon—about 65,500 billion metric tons—is stored in rocks. The rest resides in the ocean, atmosphere, plants, soil, and fossil fuels. Carbon flows between each reservoir in the carbon ...

With net zero 2050 seeming ever more difficult, RAeS Head of Research, NAOMI ALLEN MRAeS asks if aviation sustainability has reached the aeronautical equivalent of the Gartner Hype Cycle’s Trough of ...

Scientists have identified siderite—a rare iron carbonate mineral—within ancient Martian rocks, offering new insights into Mars' once-thicker atmosphere and its now-lost carbon cycle. This discovery ...

PFAS are, in many ways, remarkable molecules. Even a thin layer can repel water, oil, and dirt. They are also highly ...

To address plastic pollution, closing the plastic recycling cycle will bring significant economic and environmental benefits.

Steps of the Carbon Cycle . CO2 is removed from the atmosphere by photosynthetic organisms (plants, cyanobacteria, etc.) and used to generate organic molecules and build biological mass.

A new study has revealed for the first time that ancient carbon, stored in landscapes for thousands of years or more, can find its way back to the atmosphere as CO₂ released from the surfaces of ...

From the back end of the fuel cycle to the front end of advanced reactor deployment, Curio’s platform spans recycling, transmutation, advanced fuel fabrication, and re-powering with recycled ...
