Brad Rosenheim<p>Freezing a CO2 sample into a glass ampoule with titanium hydride and zinc hydride, with another ampoule inside that contains iron. This is done with liquid nitrogen in a styrofoam cup because we have to seal the ampoule with flame and these cups can be sacrificial if torchwork is sloppy. </p><p>We later heat these ampoules up to a point when hydrogen gas is produced by the hydrides. The hydrogen and carbon dioxide gases bounce molecularly around the chamber and when both molecules find themselves in proximity of the iron surface at the same time, they form water and graphite (solid). The end result is graphite that can be packed into an aluminum cathode (with the iron) and ultimately sputtered with a cesium ion beam in vacuum to form a negative carbon ion beam that is accelerated through a mass spectrometer to count the ration of 14C to 12C (radiocarbon dating).</p><p>The original sample here was mangrove peat, which are measuring to determine the ability of mangroves to pump atmospheric CO2 down to deeper depths of mangrove peat.</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a><br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/VacuumSeparations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VacuumSeparations</span></a><br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a><br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/CarbonCycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CarbonCycle</span></a><br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/MarineScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MarineScience</span></a><br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/EarthScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EarthScience</span></a></p>

🧊❄️🌲🌿💦 The #Arctic has many faces: ice & snow, grasslands, wetlands, & forests, rivers and lakes – and all of these impact the #CarbonCycle in different ways. ⏯️ This animation showcases results from a simulation with the ICON-Land model using HydroTiles, done within the Q-Arctic project.🇪🇺 Tiling is a technique that allows scientists to account for the heterogeneity of landscapes, sometimes just at meter scales, in #Earth system models. youtube.com/watch?v=uXJDeoN7Nj

How CO2 Gets Into the Ocean

Our oceans absorb large amounts of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Liquid water is quite good at dissolving carbon dioxide gas, which is why we have seltzer, beer, sodas, and other carbonated drinks. The larger the surface area between the atmosphere and the ocean, the more quickly carbon dioxide gets dissolved. So breaking waves — which trap lots of bubbles — are a major factor in this carbon exchange.

This video shows off numerical simulations exploring how breaking waves and bubbly turbulence affect carbon getting into the ocean. The visualizations are gorgeous, and you can follow the problem from the large-scale (breaking waves) all the way down to the smallest scales (bubbles coalescing). (Video and image credit: S.
