Their model suggests that cement has sequestered about 4.5 gigatons of carbon since 1930. And the annual sequestration rate has been increasing overtime, reaching 0.25 gigatons of carbon in 2013.

Cost-effective carbon dioxide removal technologies play a key role in combating climate change. A team of researchers at the University of Maine in collaboration with Conscience Bay Research have ...

More recently, Fung has coupled her carbon-cycle model with existing large-scale computer climate models to project how land and ocean carbon sinks are likely to change as global warming proceeds.

Because carbon fluxes estimated in tropical forests were based on the “flux” method, C sinks estimated were gross sinks. Tropical deforestation emissions were estimated by a book-keeping model.

At the decadal scale, the carbon budget imbalance is about plus or minus 2.4 gigatons of carbon for the ENSO model and 3.6 gigatons for the GCP model. These imbalances make it more challenging to ...

Engineering scholars at Brown University uncovered unexpected dynamics in how organic particulates sink in the ocean, a ...

Land ecosystems such as forests and grasslands can store carbon for several decades, while blue carbon sinks can store carbon for hundreds of years. As China in 2020 set the goal to peak its carbon ...

Many ocean carbon removal methods, like fertilization or biomass sinking, reduce oxygen levels and cause harm to marine ecosystems.
