The world has lost 10% of its wilderness areas in the past 20 years and, with it, vast stores of carbon.
Fifty years on from a groundbreaking paper, geophysicists have progressed from believing continents never moved to thinking that every movement may leave a lasting memory on our planet.
Working out how Mars’s carbon dioxide was turned into rock could help with carbon capture efforts on our own planet.
Discover the chemical wonders in your kitchen cupboard.
Study shows mangrove forests along desert coasts have potential to lock up large amounts of carbon and buffer against rising seas.
From an economic point of view, low-carbon plans in rapidly urbanising areas can have massive benefits for East African cities.
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.

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.
