...carbon dioxide. They are normally present only in small amounts, but their impact is very significant. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are largely ‘transparent’ to most regions of the spectrum of the incoming solar radiation, such as the visible and ultraviolet, but they intercept the outgoing infra-red radiation from the Earth by absorbing it and then emitting it...

Carbon isotopes found in deep water fossils offer an insight into deep ocean circulation says PhD student, Andrew McIntyre. ...[A view of Hout Bay in Kommetjie, South Africa] A view of Hout Bay in Kommetjie, South Africa There is approximately 60 times more carbon in the deep ocean than in the atmosphere. Therefore, understanding the deep ocean is of critical...

...carbon stored and that was simply we wanted to look but it’s only recently we’ve had the funding and had the initiatives to really begin to get good coverage of this incredibly important part of the climate system. RH: And how much did that lack of knowledge contribute to us being caught out. I think you’d agree we were caught out by the pause. TL: I would say that...

...footprint in its wake — a footprint that will hinder reconstruction efforts and have long-term health and economic consequences for communities. "The most important feature of this effort is to create a monitoring model that can provide data on the environment, not only after the conflict but also during it, making decision makers more capable of and competent to take...
