Storage of carbon by the Himalaya: the importance of organic carbon unveiled
![Affleurement de schistes noirs graphitiques dans l’Himalaya du Népal.](https://www.univearths.fr/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Figure-1-1571x711-1-300x200.jpg)
An international team, led by IPGP researchers, has looked into organic carbon stored as graphite in the Nepal Himalaya, whose importance as compared with well-known carbonates for the global carbon budget of the chain remains poorly understood. Studying this stored graphite is essential to better estimate the carbon sink/source duality of large orogens and its associated effects on Earth’s climate. […]
