What is the primary objective of the UK-based Project SeaCURE?
Enhancing Ocean’s Carbon AbsorptionProject SeaCURE is a UK pilot initiative focused on combating climate change by improving the ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide. The project works by extracting CO₂ directly from seawater through a chemical process that acidifies the water, causing the CO₂ to be released and captured before it can re-enter the atmosphere. This innovative technique leverages the ocean’s natural carbon sink capacity and aims to offer a scalable, cost-effective method to reduce atmospheric CO₂ levels. If successful, it could become a vital tool in the global effort to mitigate climate change.

The newly discovered Davis Strait proto-microcontinent lies between Canada and which other region?
GreenlandThe Davis Strait proto-microcontinent was discovered between Greenland and Canada, buried beneath the Davis Strait. This landmass is composed of thick continental crust and originated during the tectonic separation of Greenland and North America. The finding enhances our understanding of how lithospheric structures influence plate tectonics and opens up the possibility that microcontinents may be more widespread than previously believed. The identification of this microcontinent contributes significantly to geological studies, offering insights into the ancient processes that shaped the Earth's crust in the North Atlantic region.
