Article Abstract: Glaciers and polar ice sheets store and release a small but important pool of organic carbon. The changing climate is making glaciers an increasingly important driver of carbon dynamics in aquatic ecosystems. from Nature Geoscience – AOP – nature.com science feeds Click Here To Read Full Article Visit Nature Geoscience – AOP –…
Article Abstract: Earth’s nitrogen isotopic composition has been linked to an unknown primordial reservoir. Macroscopic analyses of mineral inclusions in meteorites suggest that ices in the Sun’s protoplanetary disk could be the source of Earth’s nitrogen. from Nature Geoscience – AOP – nature.com science feeds Click Here To Read Full Article Visit Nature Geoscience –…
Article Abstract: The atmospheric circulation controls the regional expression of global climate change. An analysis of aquaplanet climate simulations suggests that the radiative effects of clouds and water vapour are key to the circulation response to global warming. from Nature Geoscience – AOP – nature.com science feeds Click Here To Read Full Article Visit Nature…
Article Abstract: As an experiment, I thought I’d try posting some science instead of nonsense or mountains. From Nurture (Peter van der Sleen et al., Nature Geoscience 8, 24–28 (2015) doi:10.1038/ngeo2313): The biomass of undisturbed tropical forests has likely increased in the past few decades1, 2, probably as a result of accelerated tree growth. Higher…
Article Abstract: In the first decades of the twentieth century, the Earth warmed rapidly. A coral-based climate proxy record of westerly winds over the equatorial Pacific suggests that wind strength and warming rate were linked, as they are today. from Nature Geoscience – AOP – nature.com science feeds Click Here To Read Full Article Visit…
Article Abstract: Soil contains aged organic carbon that can be hundreds or thousands of years old. Human disturbance in small and large watersheds is mobilizing some of this fossil carbon from soils to aquatic systems. from Nature Geoscience – AOP – nature.com science feeds Click Here To Read Full Article Visit Nature Geoscience – AOP…
Article Abstract: (Phys.org)—A team of researchers with members from institutions in the Netherlands, Bolivia and the U.K. has found that tree ring samples taken from tropical forests show no evidence of faster growth over the past 150 years—a sign that such trees may not be the carbon sink planet scientists have been hoping for. The…

Article Abstract: They came, they saw, they cuddled koalas and world leaders then largely ignored the Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s instructions to ignore the global, intergenerational and morally challenging kerfuffle over climate change. All in all the last seven days have proven to be momentous for climate change policy – both at the Brisbane…
Article Abstract: Environment Photo credit: Volcanism, driven by plate tectonics, built Earth’s atmosphere to make a habitable planet. Simon Redfern/University of Cambridge, Author provided How is it that Earth developed an atmosphere that made the development of life possible? A study published in the journal Nature Geoscience links the origins of Earth’s nitrogen-rich atmosphere to…
