While the Paris climate talks focus on technical fixes, no one talks about how we’re much more afraid of roughing it than ever before.
Astronomers have built a new observatory in the cold dry air of a high plateau in Antarctica to peer through our atmosphere and observe carbon in our galaxy.
Integrated research is key to sustainable development, which helps Africa resolve its energy woes.
Africa’s savannas provide high potential for farming development but this needs to be done in a smart manner to not worsen climate change.
For the sake of mitigating climate change, the African continent needs to make low carbon energy choices.
The dust storm that turned Sydney red in 2009 triggered plankton blooms in the Tasman Sea, demonstrating how we might fertilise the ocean to take up more carbon dioxide.
The general response to carbon tax is not a positive one, but it may be something South Africa will need to accept.
Forests take longer than expected to rebound from droughts, diminishing their role as global carbon sinks.

“But who do you think’s right, Prof? The optimists or the pessimists?” At the end of my sustainability economics course in 2007, students were challenging me to end 20 years of professional fence-sitting…
The latest report on global carbon emissions released this week revealed that carbon dioxide emissions will likely reach 40 billion tonnes this year. Growth in emissions continues to match the worst-case…
Carbon from dried human urine has been extracted for use in chemical fuel cells. These cells traditionally use platinum as…
Deforested tropical rainforests have been found to replenish their carbon faster than their rich biodiversity. Research conducted…
While hugging a tree sounds relaxing, it’s harder than you might think - especially when the tree is 20 storeys high and 3 metres wide, it’s hot as hell, and you’re swatting away swarms of sweat bugs…
Deep soils store more carbon than previous estimates have suggested. Researchers took extensive samples down to 40 metres…
Investing in carbon sequestration in soil has been difficult because there is no accurate way to measure how well the carbon…
Carbon modelling is easier to create for surface cycles, but deep in the Earth’s crust things become a lot more difficult…
Leaves do shrink when they dry out, researchers from the University of Arizona have confirmed. The study has implications…
