CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 7, 2007 — Researchers at Harvard University and Pennsylvania State University have invented a technology, inspired by nature, to reduce the accumulation of atmospheric carbon ...

Could blending of crushed rock with arable soil lower global temperatures? Researchers study global warming events from 40 and 56 million years ago to find answers. The Earth is getting hotter and ...

The decay of rocks at the Earth's surface may play a lesser role in regulating our climate than previously thought, says new research. The weathering of rocks at the Earth's surface may remove less ...

Weathering and erosion slowly chisel, polish, and buff Earth's rock into ever evolving works of art—and then wash the remains into the sea. The processes are definitively independent, but not ...

Scientists have understood for years that silicate minerals react with CO 2 and water to remove CO 2 from the atmosphere, acting as a thermostat that kept Earth’s climate broadly stable over billions ...

This study is conducted by a joint team from Chinese Academy of Sciences. They use aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Electron-energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and scanning ...

On a banana plantation in rural Australia, a second-generation farming family spreads crushed volcanic rock between rows of ripening fruit. Eight thousand kilometers away, two young men in central ...
