Future Carbon Emissions from Global Mangrove Forest Loss

Mangroves have among the highest carbon densities of any tropical forest. These ‘blue carbon’ ecosystems can store large amounts of carbon for long periods, and their protection reduces greenhouse[...]

The Carbon Cycle

Carbon is the basis of all organic substances, from fossil fuels to human cells. On Earth, carbon is continually on the move – cycling through living things, the land, ocean, atmosphere. What happen[...]

The Ocean Carbon Cycle

The ocean holds vast quantities of carbon that it continually exchanges with the atmosphere through the air-sea interface. Because of its enormous size and relatively rapid exchange of carbon with the[...]

Deep Sea Fun

What types of marine life can be found in the deep sea? This online exercise comes to you from Neal Agarwal. [...]

Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and 2030 Targets

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework has 23 action-oriented global targets for urgent action over the decade to 2030. The actions set out in each target need to be initiated immediately [...]

Blue Carbon Storage Capacity of Blue Forests

Blue Carbon ecosystems provide a highly valuable service by sequestering and storing atmospheric carbon. Infographic from the Abu Dhabi Blue Carbon Demonstration Project. https://grid.cld.bz/The-Abu-D[...]

Marine Pollution Potentially Mitigated by Kelp Farms

Emerging research from the University of Alaska Fairbanks suggests that implementing kelp farms may be an effective strategy for combatting the growing problem of marine pollution. The university stud[...]

Seasonal and Temporal CO2 Dynamics in Three Tropical Mangrove Creeks: A revision of global mangrove CO2 emissions

Continuous high-resolution surface water pCO2 and δ13C-CO2 and 222Rn (dry season only) were measured over two tidal cycles in the wet and dry season in three tropical tidal mangrove creeks on the nor[...]
