Ancient Arctic Carbon's Unlikely Refuge: The Seabed's Surprising Role The warming of the Arctic has long been a pressing concern for climate scientists.

A study published this month reveals that most of the carbon released from thawing permafrost ends up being buried in the seafloor, rather than contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.
