The waste from this frenzy—Earth’s largest migration of creatures—sinks to the ocean floor, removing millions of metric tons of carbon from the atmosphere each year. This activity is one of ...

Our planet has historically been home to natural "carbon sinks," or sites like forests and oceans that naturally remove potentially atmosphere-damaging carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Hyderabad lakes, once crucial carbon sinks, have lost over 50% of their capacity, worsening the climate crisis. Pollution, outdated sewage plants, and industrial effluents are key factors.

This study is led by Dr Shi Xuefa, Dr. Wu Bin, and Dr. Qiao Shuqing from the First Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, China. The researchers have finely depicted the ...
