NASA space mission locates source of CO2 emissions on Earth

Using space-based observations a case study show how carbon dioxide emissions and reductions can be tracked at the source of a large European coal-fired power plant. A recent series of Earth-observing missions from NASA allowed researchers to monitor and quantify carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from...

Review suggests current global efforts are insufficient to limit warming to 1.5°C

A pair of Concordia University climate scientists have concluded that, despite many nations' efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by the middle of this century will not be met. H. Damon Matthews and Seth...

The secret carbon decisions plants are making about our future

Plants make their own "hidden" judgments about how much carbon to release back into the atmosphere, according to new research from The University of Western Australia, a revelation with "deep consequences" for the use of plants as carbon reservoirs. Professor Harvey Millar of the University...

Crops, trees, and bioenergy reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

According to Michigan State University experts, an integrated approach to land management techniques in the United States can reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere significantly more than previous predictions based on separate approaches. Their findings were published in the journal Global Change Biology on...

New study aims at calculating terrestrial carbon’s role in river and stream emissions

The interplay between the terrestrial carbon cycle and emissions of carbon dioxide from streams and rivers into the atmosphere is at the center of a new Yale School of the Environment-led study. The study aimed at calculating the amount for the global carbon emissions...

Earth scientists simulate the future to model forest restoration impact

Replanting previously forested landscapes in the tropics is a nature-based solution. It can play a role in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But if the new forests will withstand the impacts of future climate change was a big uncertainty. Though there is a reason...
