NASA study says climate adds fuel to Asian wildfire emissions
In the last decade, Asian farmers have cleared tens of thousands of square miles of forests to accommodate the world's growing demand for palm oil, an increasingly popular food ingredient. view more (2009-05-01)
UA scientists part of Supreme Court case on carbon dioxide emissions
Four faculty members from The University of Arizona in Tucson were part of an amicus curiae brief supporting the plaintiff in today's historic U.S. Supreme Court decision on carbon dioxide emissions and climate change. view more (2007-04-03)
New isotope cluster could lead to better understanding of atmospheric carbon dioxide
A team of researchers has discovered an unexpected concentration of a certain isotopic molecule in parts of the stratosphere that could have implications for understanding the carbon cycle and its response to climate change. view more (2009-07-15)
New materials can selectively capture carbon dioxide, UCLA chemists report
UCLA chemists report a major advance in reducing heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions in the Feb. 15 issue of the journal Science. view more (2008-02-15)
Improved wettability of carbon nanotubes opens the door to new possibilities
Carbon nanotubes have long been touted as the wonder material of the future but their wonder properties can also be their downfall. The non reactive nature of carbon nanotubes means they can be difficult to incorporate into other materials for real world applications. view more (2007-11-26)
Carbon turns over much faster through basal food-chain levels in aquatic than in terrestrial ecosystems
Global temperatures have increased dramatically over the past century, which is causing major impacts on climate patterns, ocean circulation and wildlife preservation. The increase in temperature is largely due to a rise of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, of which CO2 is one of the most important. To understand the capacity of... view more...

Another type of nanotube, a how-to guide to making bamboo-structured carbon nanotubes
Nanotechnology is area if science that has recently captured the attention of people all around the world. At the heart of the nanotechnology revolution are carbon nanotubes, amazing materials with astonishing properties. They have applications in most fields, with new possibilities emerging regularly. view more (2007-11-26)
High Value Semiconducting Carbon Nanotubes
Moore's Law states that the number of transistors on a chip doubles every eighteen months. However current silicon technologies are approaching the limits imposed by quantum mechanics, which will stop Moore's Law in its tracks within 20 years. New materials and techniques must be found to complement and increase the capabilities of the current... view more... (2004-07-09)
Before selling carbon credits, read this
Storing carbon in agricultural soils presents an immediate option to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide and slow global warming. view more (2007-05-21)
New Business/Academic Partnership delivers £14 M for low carbon innovation
(Press Release issued by Carbon Trust and EPSRC) Today (11 November), Carbon Trust and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) announces the launch of a new £14 million investment initiative which will marry the needs of business with the capabilities of University R&D departments to deliver on low carbon... view more...

Rise in atmospheric CO2 accelerates as economy grows, natural carbon sinks weaken
Human activities are releasing carbon dioxide faster than ever, while the natural processes that normally slow its build up in the atmosphere appear to be weakening. view more (2007-10-23)
Global climate change: a load of poo?
Plankton poo could be the key to understanding how much carbon dioxide our oceans can store according to Tasmanian researcher Dr Karin Beaumont. view more (2004-09-09)
Beneficial effects of no-till farming depend upon future climate change
By storing carbon in their fields through no-till farming practice, farmers can help countries meet targeted reductions in atmospheric carbon dioxide and reduce the harmful effects of global warming. view more (2005-10-13)
Mars, methane and mysteries
Mars may not be as dormant as scientists once thought. The 2004 discovery of methane means that either there is life on Mars, or that volcanic activity continues to generate heat below the martian surface. view more (2009-08-10)
TREATING POLLUTED LAND WITH CARBON DIOXIDE
First a granular binder containing products which react with carbon is added to the contaminated soil and then carbon dioxide is pumped into the mixture. The three components rapidly combine to produce a cement that is very stable, and although marginally more expensive is immediately available for development. The land can then be used for... view more... (1999-11-25)
Climate change will affect carbon sequestration in oceans, model shows
The direct injection of carbon dioxide deep into the ocean has been suggested as one method to help control rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and mitigate the effects of global warming. view more (2005-09-08)
Carbon sinks losing the battle with rising emissions
The stabilising influence that land and ocean carbon sinks have on rising carbon emissions is gradually weakening, say scientists attending this week's international Copenhagen Climate Change Conference. view more (2009-03-17)
Resilient form of plant carbon gives new meaning to term 'older than dirt'
A particularly resilient type of carbon from the first plants to regrow after the last ice age - and that same type of carbon from all the plants since - appears to have been accumulating for 11,000 years in the forests of British Columbia, Canada. view more (2006-11-27)
Carbon fiber--new muscle for old bridges
Forget the concept of "supporting wall." With the aid of carbon fiber it is now possible to reinforce concrete, making a concrete bridge, for example, considerably stronger. The method has been used to reinforce the much discussed trolley-car bridges in Stockholm, Sweden as well as many buildings and construction projects all around the... view more... (2003-06-16)
Deep sea algae connect ancient climate, carbon dioxide and vegetation
Assistant Professor Mark Pagani in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at Yale and his colleagues mapped the first detailed history of atmospheric carbon dioxide between 45-25 million years ago based on stable isotopes of carbon in a National Science Foundation study reported in Science Express. view more (2005-06-23)
