Researchers at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography have created a more accurate model of global carbon cycling. The model better accounts for the contributions of Earth’s terrestrial ...

Over the past four years, the Biden Administration relied extensively on integrated assessment models (IAMs) to quantify the economic effects of carbon-dioxide emissions via a construct known as the ...

Soil stores more carbon than Earth's atmosphere and plants combined, which makes the speed of soil carbon's decomposition an important variable in models used to predict changes to our climate.

The global voluntary carbon market, and its supporting industry ecosystem, has grown substantially from its origins in the early 1990s. Despite this growth, voluntary markets have been hampered by ...

Recent research underscores the critical role that tiny ocean organisms play in Earth’s carbon cycle, a factor often overlooked in climate models. These microorganisms are pivotal in driving the ocean ...

Organic carbon decomposition in soil varies significantly and in regional patterns, driven in part by factors such as soil minerals and microbial properties that have been underrepresented in carbon ...
