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...
