Study demonstrates efficiency of deltaic sediments for storing organic carbon for hundreds of thousands of years
by University of Barcelona on phys.org
An international research team with participation of the UAB team has succeeded in quantifying the volume of continental organic carbon stored in delta sediments from 75 million years ago. The research, published in Nature Geoscience, demonstrates that deltas are large stores of the planet’s carbon and, therefore, important climate regulators over geological time periods.
