Marine Genetics to Help Restore Coastlines
Australians love their coastal and marine environments but much of the world’s ecosystems are in various stages of decline and in urgent need of restoration.
Sliver of Cool Surface Water Helps the Ocean Absorb More Carbon
Subtle temperature differences at the ocean surface allow more carbon dioxide (CO₂) to be absorbed, new research shows.

Buried Alive: Carbon Dioxide Release From Magma Beneath Ancient Volcanoes Was Hidden Driver of Earth’s Past Climate
An international team of geoscientists led by a volcanologist at Rutgers University-New Brunswick has discovered that, contrary to present scientific understanding, ancient volcanoes continued to spew carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from deep within the Earth long past their period of eruptions.
