51³Ô¹ÏÍø Geologist Wins Grant to Study Climate Change Factors and Inspire Young Scientists
The greenhouse effect is one of the most widely known causes of global climate change. It is currently caused by an excess of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere due to burning of fossil fuels. Some natural processes can help slow climate change by removing CO2 from the atmosphere. For example, p…
