Crushed volcanic rock spread on farms accelerates natural carbon capture processes. This method converts atmospheric carbon ...

New findings on reverse weathering speed For decades, scientists believed reverse weathering was too slow to influence any environmental change on shorter time scales. However, these new studies ...

A tractor spreads crushed white rock on a green hill, leaving a plume of dust in its wake. Scientists believe that enhanced ...

The natural rock weathering process, while effective in breaking down carbon and storing it within rocks over thousands of years, may not provide the immediate solution to combat climate change. With ...

Working with Eion Corp., researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the Leverhulme Centre for Climate Change Mitigation (LC3M) developed a new method to calculate the CO 2 ...

Geochemical weathering in mineral deposits encompasses the breakdown of primary rock‐forming minerals, the mobilisation and fixation of liberated elements, and the development of secondary mineral ...

During the Ordovician period, the concentration of CO2 in the earth's atmosphere was about eight times higher than today. It has been hard to explain why the climate cooled and why the Ordovician ...

Microbial weathering in soils encompasses the biological mechanisms by which microorganisms drive the breakdown, alteration and mobilisation of minerals. Through a suite of chemical, physical and ...
