Rutgers scientists found Antarctic glacier meltwater supplies far less iron than assumed, challenging a key theory on natural carbon dioxide removal.

The climate is warming, and much of the increase is due to greenhouse gases, the most prevalent gas being carbon dioxide. Methods for removing existing carbon from the atmosphere are in the works, and ...

For scientists who study the Southern Ocean, a long-standing silver lining in the gloomy forecast of climate change has been the theory of iron fertilization. As temperatures rise and glaciers in ...

On Thursday, a study conducted by marine scientists from the Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences found that iron fertilization in Antarctica was far less common than theorized, ...

Whether people ever decide to pursue iron fertilization to combat climate change or not, scientists still need to understand the environmental impacts of iron-rich dust and ash from natural sources ...
