Ocean levels are getting higher. Why is this happening, and what can we do to stem the tide? There are two main mechanisms that contribute to observed sea level rise: (1) thermal expansion: because of the increase in ocean heat content (ocean water expands as it warms); and (2) the melting of major stores of land ice l...

Soils hold the largest supply of organic carbon on Earth, triple the amount contained in the atmosphere. As the climate warms, scientists expect that microbes and roots will break down soil organic carbon (SOC) more quickly and release carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere at a faster rate.
