As atmospheric CO2?levels continue their steady climb, the ocean persistently takes up a quarter of our CO2?emissions, curtailing the pace of climate change. But the ocean does not soak up carbon uniformly. Researchers from ETH Zurich and the University of Exeter, Great Britain, released a new product that uses satellites to map the ocean carbon sink at an unprecedented resolution, offering unique insights into its highly variable nature.
A joint study by researchers from ETH Zurich and BOKU University has analysed the age distribution of Alpine rivers in Switzerland and Austria and shown that a large proportion of the annual runoff is significantly older than one month.
