The purpose of this review is to highlight progress in unraveling carbon cycling dynamics
across the continuum of landscapes, inland waters, coastal oceans, and the atmosphere …

In the past decades, the molecular structure of soil organic carbon (SOC) has been regarded
as a pivotal criterion for predicting organic carbon (OC) turnover in soils. However, newly …

Glaciers cover∼ 10% of the Earth's land surface, but they are shrinking rapidly across most
parts of the world, leading to cascading impacts on downstream systems. Glaciers impart …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is recognized for its importance in freshwater ecosystems,
but historical reliance on DOM quantity rather than indicators of DOM composition has led to …

We describe complex organic mixture analysis by 21 tesla (T) Fourier transform ion cyclotron
resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS). Ultrahigh mass-resolving power (m/Δ m 50%> 2 …

Global biomass burning generates 40 million to 250 million tons of charcoal every year, part
of which is preserved for millennia in soils and sediments. We have quantified dissolution …

Polar ice sheets and mountain glaciers, which cover roughly 11% of the Earth's land surface,
store organic carbon from local and distant sources and then release it to downstream …

The cycling of carbon on Earth exerts a fundamental influence upon the greenhouse gas
content of the atmosphere, and hence global climate over millennia. Until recently, ice …

The marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) pool is an important player in the functioning of
marine ecosystems. DOC is at the interface between the chemical and the biological worlds …

Cryoconite is granular sediment found on glacier surfaces comprising both mineral and
biological material. Despite long having been recognised as an important glaciological and …
