Marine and carbon matters!
UNIC study finds that approximately 66,000 plastic bottles, bags, straws, and food wrappings litter the shorelines of Cyprus. Endowed with 69 Blue Flag designated beaches, Cyprus needs to invest more in efforts to safeguard its coastlines. Researchers at the University of Nicosia have developed an innovative method to assess the extent of plastic pollution affecting the island’s shorelines, as part […]

Abstract Plastic debris in the marine environment is one of the most pressing environmental concerns of our time. Detailed knowledge of the abundance and geographical distribution of plastics across the world’s oceans can help better monitor, control and address the environmental hazards. Utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools for the detection of plastic objects in the marine environment can help reveal […]

Abstract Record world temperatures and emissions have become the focal point of climate change. China, with a share of 29.3% of CO2 emissions is the world’s top emitter. Its electricity sector accounts for 35% of these emissions. To gain a better appreciation as to the ability of China to decarbonise its electricity sector we have formulated four different scenarios. Primarily […]

The Marine and Carbon Lab at the University of Nicosia cordially invites you to the following event: Appreciating the Effects of Increased CO2 Levels on the Marine Carbon Cycle Abstract The ocean plays an important role in regulating the carbon cycle. Overall, the ocean is called a carbon “sink” because it absorbs more carbon from the atmosphere than it returns […]

Currently, the world temperature has increased by 1°C compared to the pre-industrial era. Back in 2009, the EU has urged Member States to contain their heat trapping emissions between 80% to 95%, compared to 1990, so as to arrest world temperature rise below 2°C. Revising its goals, in Dec. 2019, the EU has set a long-term binding goal of curbing […]
