​Dr. Shuang Zhang contributes to a new paper in Science that provides the first CONUS-wide estimates of river metabolism using a machine-learning model. The study finds that U.S. rivers have an annual GPP of about 10.1 Tg-C yr⁻¹ and ER of 18.7 Tg-C yr⁻¹, and western rivers contribute more than 71% of the nation’s metabolism-driven CO₂ uptake, reflecting strong autotrophic and heterotrophic extremes in arid landscapes. Drought and flow variation strongly modulate carbon uptake and release, and feature-importance analyses highlight canopy cover, discharge, watershed area, land cover, and temperature as key controls. The work reveals that river autotrophy is far more widespread, especially in western landscapes, than previously recognized.

​Dr. Shuang Zhang contributes to a new paper in Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology. This study develops a deep learning–based pipeline to accurately measure active whitecap fractions, overcoming the subjectivity of traditional image-based methods. A new horizon detection algorithm and a U-Net model enable reliable identification of active whitecaps, even under sun glint conditions. Applied to 48 hours of Gulf of Mexico video data, the results reveal greater variability with wind speed than previously reported. Random forest analysis shows that sea surface temperature, swell, and wave age also strongly influence active whitecap formation, with further ANOVA results indicating a positive correlation between sea surface temperature and active whitecap fraction. Yang, X., Potter, H., Zhang, S., Lyu, M. Remote Measurement of Active Whitecaps Using Deep Learning.

​Shihan Li and Dr. Shuang Zhang contributes to a new paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). This study reconstructs marine redox evolution during the Late Paleozoic Ice Age (310–290 Ma), a time of peak atmospheric O2 and relatively low CO2. Using high-resolution uranium and carbon isotope records from South China, combined with biogeochemical modeling, the authors document repeated CO2-driven episodes of marine anoxia at the 10⁵-year scale. Results suggest that even under oxygen-rich conditions, moderate seafloor anoxia (4–12%) could develop, potentially disrupting marine biodiversity. The work highlights that widespread anoxia can arise under CO2 levels similar to present-day or near-future projections. Chen, J., Li, S., Zhang, S., Isson, T., Dahl, T. W., Planavsky, N. J., et al.

​Dr. Shuang Zhang contributes to a new paper in Environmental Research Letters.  This study uses a reaction-transport model to assess carbon dioxide removal (CDR) through Enhanced Weathering (EW) in U.S. agricultural soils. Results show that lag times between alkalinity addition and CDR can span years to decades, shaped by soil cation exchange capacity, pH targets, and infiltration rates. Management changes can shorten lags but may reduce total CDR and affect nutrient use and nitrous oxide emissions. The work highlights a critical disconnect between EW deployment and climate-relevant CDR, with implications for monitoring and verification. Kanzaki, Y., Planavsky, N. J., Zhang, S., Jordan, J., Suhrhoff, T. J., & Reinhard, C. T. (2025). Soil cation storage is a key control on the carbon removal dynamics of enhanced weathering.

Dr. Shuang Zhang contributes to a new paper in Frontiers in Climate. This study highlights how aquatic photosynthesis alters the fate of carbon and alkalinity produced by Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW), potentially reducing its carbon sequestration efficiency. Using stream-order data and biogeochemical modeling, the paper show that 1–30% of ERW-derived DIC can be taken up by aquatic vegetation, depending on river characteristics and biological pathways. These processes, intensified by ERW-induced water chemistry changes, complicate assumptions in current carbon crediting. Neumann, R. B., Kukla, T., Zhang, S., & Butman, D. E. (2025). Front.

Dr. Shuang Zhang contributes to a new paper in Nature. This study highlights the potential of Enhanced Weathering (EW) on U.S. agricultural lands to sequester 0.16–0.30 GtCO2 annually by 2050, with further increases by 2070. The detailed carbon cycle analysis emphasizes the intergenerational benefits of EW, temporary air quality improvements, and declining CDR costs to $100–150 per ton CO2 by mid-century, positioning EW as a viable support for achieving net-zero emissions. Beerling, D.
