Mountains, erosion and the carbon cycle
Mountain building results in high erosion rates and the interaction of rocks with the
atmosphere, water and life. Carbon transfers that result from increased erosion could control …

Methane feedbacks to the global climate system in a warmer world
Methane (CH4) is produced in many natural systems that are vulnerable to change under a
warming climate, yet current CH4 budgets, as well as future shifts in CH4 emissions, have …

Around one third of current Arctic Ocean primary production sustained by rivers and coastal erosion
Net primary production (NPP) is the foundation of the oceans' ecosystems and the fisheries
they support. In the Arctic Ocean, NPP is controlled by a complex interplay of light and …

Increase in Arctic coastal erosion and its sensitivity to warming in the twenty-first century
Arctic coastal erosion damages infrastructure, threatens coastal communities and releases
organic carbon from permafrost. However, the magnitude, timing and sensitivity of coastal …

The global turbidity current pump and its implications for organic carbon cycling
Submarine turbidity currents form the largest sediment accumulations on Earth, raising the
question of their role in global carbon cycles. It was previously inferred that terrestrial …

Global carbon export from the terrestrial biosphere controlled by erosion
Riverine export of particulate organic carbon (POC) to the ocean affects the atmospheric
carbon inventory over a broad range of timescales,,,,. On geological timescales, the balance …

Fluvial organic carbon cycling regulated by sediment transit time and mineral protection
Rivers transfer terrestrial organic carbon (OC) from mountains to ocean basins, playing a
key role in the global carbon cycle. During fluvial transit, OC may be oxidized and emitted to …

Ice sheets matter for the global carbon cycle
The cycling of carbon on Earth exerts a fundamental influence upon the greenhouse gas
content of the atmosphere, and hence global climate over millennia. Until recently, ice …
