Important insights on black carbon in Arctic clouds
For the first time, researchers can show directly over the course of all seasons, how much black carbon can be found inside Arctic clouds.
Persistent pollutants found in one of Earth’s deepest ocean trenches
Researchers have detected the environmental pollutant PCB in sediment samples taken at a depth of 8,000 meters in the Pacific Ocean. While organic carbon is degraded, persistent PCB accumulates in the deep sea.
