Melting Antarctic ice isn’t helping the ocean absorb carbon — defying years of predictions
Analysis of a 2001 sediment core reveals thinning of the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet, reducing CO2's absorption capability in the Southern Ocean.
Melting ice from West Antarctica once delivered huge amounts of iron to the Southern Ocean, but algae growth did not increase as expected. Researchers found the iron was in a form that marine life ...
In the past, these tiny single-celled organisms slowed down the increase of CO₂ in the atmosphere – at a time when greenhouse gas levels were rising sharply Some Fourteen thousand years ago, algal ...
Carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions are currently one of the leading causes of global warming. Cement-based materials have shown promising applications in capturing and solidifying CO 2 as minerals ...

Scientists warn Antarctic ice sheet loss may weaken ocean carbon absorption
Melting ice in West Antarctica releases unusable iron, weakening the Southern Ocean's ability to absorb CO2. Find out how ...
Ocean fronts are most common in mid-to-high latitudes where colliding water masses drive downwelling and upwelling that bring nutrient-rich deep water to the surface, fueling massive phytoplankton ...
Carbon dioxide levels keep climbing, even after years of promises to cut emissions. At the same time, plastic waste pours ...
