A study has found New Zealand's native forests are absorbing more carbon dioxide (CO2) than previously thought. Study leader, ...

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

New research warns that several methods of using the ocean for carbon removal could drastically deplete it of oxygen.

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 ...
