The Earth’s carbon cycle is a complex and dynamic system that influences the planet’s atmosphere, climate, and geological processes. While much of the focus tends to be on the carbon emissions from human activities, there is another critical source of

When we think about carbon emissions and their role in climate change, the first things that come to mind are often human activities such as burning fossil fuels. However, there is another important source of carbon emissions that operates deep

Carbon, the building block of life, plays a crucial role in maintaining the delicate balance of Earth’s climate system. However, much of the planet’s carbon resides deep within its layers, where it is trapped for millions or even billions of

Carbon plays a pivotal role in regulating Earth’s climate, and while most of the attention surrounding carbon emissions focuses on human activities, there are natural processes at work beneath our feet that also release carbon into the atmosphere. One of

The Earth’s climate system is complex, influenced by numerous factors ranging from atmospheric composition to ocean currents and solar radiation. One factor that plays a significant role but often goes unnoticed is the process of deep Earth carbon degassing. This

Carbon is one of the most important elements on Earth, playing a critical role in everything from the formation of life to the regulation of the planet’s climate. While much of our focus tends to be on carbon emissions from

Volcanoes are more than just fiery spectacles—they play an essential role in regulating the Earth’s carbon cycle and climate. While we often think of volcanic eruptions as dramatic events that disrupt local environments, they are also a crucial part of

Earth is a dynamic and ever-changing planet, shaped by a variety of natural processes. While many people are familiar with surface-level phenomena like the water cycle or weather patterns, there’s a much deeper, less visible system that plays a critical

Twenty-eight DCO members came together from 29 April  –  4 May, 2018 at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, DC to calculate a new estimate of global carbon dioxide (CO2) degassing from large volcanic emitters, small volcanic sources and
