Unexpected atmospheric cleanup: The 2022 Hunga Tonga eruption emitted methane but also destroyed part of it through a rare chemical reaction. Satellite evidence: High formaldehyde levels in the plume, ...

Climate change is occurring all around us, and research known as attribution science has linked an increasing number of extreme weather events with excessive levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide and ...

The methane that escapes during oil drilling is of no interest to oil companies; the economics of channeling it into natural gas infrastructure don't work out, it's dangerous and inconvenient to store ...

Scientists have discovered that methane in the open ocean is produced by microbes under nutrient-poor conditions, solving a long-standing mystery. As warming oceans reduce nutrient mixing, these ...

Some bacteria are able to tap into unusual sources of nutrients in the surface water of the oceans. This enables them to increase their primary production and extract more carbon dioxide from the ...

Infinite vastness: Gases are constantly exchanged between the ocean and the atmosphere. The study presented here shows how tiny marine organisms contribute significantly to the release of the ...
