New research published in PNAS suggests that not as much carbon dioxide is being removed from the atmosphere by way of the weathering of rocks as was previously thought. The news comes from scientists ...

Limiting average global temperature rise to 2°C will require strong commitment and innovative solutions. In the first study of its type, a German team has assessed whether removing carbon dioxide from ...

A new study published in the journal Nature has overturned the view that natural rock weathering acts as a CO2 sink, indicating instead that this can also act as a large carbon dioxide source, ...

Researchers have shown that weathering of rocks in the Canadian Arctic will accelerate with rising temperatures, triggering a positive feedback loop that will release more and more carbon dioxide to ...

Weathering and erosion are nature’s slow but powerful sculptors, breaking down rocks and reshaping landscapes over millions of years. From frost wedging in mountain peaks to rivers carving deep ...

It’s one of the latest technologies for sequestering carbon: Crush silicate rocks, add to crop soil, and let the rock dust naturally react with carbon dioxide. The reactions bind carbon into stable ...

Anisovolumetric weathering is much more common than previously thought, and variations in this process can be explained by climate and erosion. Research led by the University of Wyoming shows that ...

A new University of Washington study shows that the textbook understanding of global chemical weathering -- in which rocks are dissolved, washed down rivers and eventually end up on the ocean floor to ...
