Antarctic sea ice may not cap carbon emissions as much as previously thought
Study from researchers in MIT’s Darwin Project suggests sea ice blocks the flow of carbon both into and out of the ocean, in roughly equal measure. Continue reading Antarctic sea ice may not cap carbon emissions as much as previously thought

Seeding Oceans with Iron may not Impact Climate Change
Darwin Project study led by Jonathan Lauderdale finds Earth’s oceans contain just the right amount of iron; adding more may not improve their ability to absorb carbon dioxide. Continue reading Seeding Oceans with Iron may not Impact Climate Change
