Evidence from fossil shells suggests that falling seawater calcium helped lock away carbon dioxide and helped cool Earth after the dinosaurs.
A research team has shown that methanogens, micro-organisms ubiquitous in low-oxygen environments like aquifers, soil and even permafrost, can propel their growth by dissolving calcium carbonate, one ...

Scientists discover what vanished from the oceans after the dinosaurs died out
Oceans Used To Leak More Carbon At the start of the Cenozoic, just after the dinosaurs disappeared, Earth was far warmer than ...
Researchers have found evidence that a natural fruit extract is capable of dissolving calcium oxalate crystals, the most common component of human kidney stones. This finding could lead to the first ...
Sea cucumbers secrete acidic compounds that may be weakening the structure of the coral communities in which they live. The main component of a coral reef is calcium carbonate (CaCO3), a mineral that ...
A University of Nebraska–Lincoln research team has identified new microscopic players in the global carbon cycle, a discovery that paints a clearer picture of carbon flow through the environment and ...
