The most recent issue of Science magazine includes an article on carbon sinks, co-authored by UNH assistant research professor George Hurtt. Hurtt works in the university's Institute for the Study of Earth Oceans and Space. Hurtt described the research's findings to NHPR's Doug Macpherson. Got Bugs?
