Sea Urchins Offer a Clue To New Way to Capture Carbon Dioxide
2013-02-05 18:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: British researchers have discovered that sea urchins use nickel particles on their exoskeletons to effectively capture CO2 and turn it into a solid form, an intriguing finding that could offer an inexpensive way to capture and store carbon from fossil fuel-fired power plants. Scientists from Newcastle University were studying how marine organisms absorb CO2 to make shells and skeletons when they discovered that sea urchin larvae have a high concentration of nickel on their exoskeletons, which helps...

Spring may come earlier to North American forests, increasing uptake of carbon dioxide
2013-01-30 00:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Trees in the continental U.S. could send out new spring leaves up to 17 days earlier in the coming century than they did before global temperatures started to rise, according to a new study by Princeton University researchers. These climate-driven changes could lead to changes in the composition of northeastern forests and give a boost to their ability to take up carbon dioxide. Trees play an important role in taking up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, so researchers...
