The greenhouse effect was discovered more than 150 years ago and the first scientific paper linking carbon dioxide levels in ...

A study of fossils from the Permian-Triassic extinction event 252 million years ago shows that forests in many parts of the ...

Steps of the Carbon Cycle CO2 is removed from the atmosphere by photosynthetic organisms (plants, cyanobacteria, etc.) and used to generate organic molecules and build biological mass.

A mass extinction event wiped out around 90% of life. What followed has long puzzled scientists: The planet became lethally ...

Researchers from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Columbia University ...

The Carbon Cycle. Carbon atoms move around the planet in a process known as the carbon cycle—but really, ... Atmospheric carbon levels can also affect the ocean and the creatures that live in it.

Rivers have long played a key role in the planet’s carbon cycle. They move and release gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄), connecting land, air, and ocean systems. Until ...

Today, human technology injects CO2 into the atmosphere at an unprecedented rate, far exceeding the planet's natural capacity to balance it. The Martian lesson is clear: even seemingly small ...

The carbon from the atmosphere was being sequestered in the rocks on Mars just as it is on Earth. The problem was, unlike on Earth, it couldn’t get out of these rocks.

Rivers have long played a key role in the planet’s carbon cycle. They move and release gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄), connecting land, air, and ocean systems.
