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 ...

Since the early 1980s, Earth scientists have understood that erosion and weathering of rock slowly removes CO 2 from the atmosphere, regulating Earth’s climate on geological timescales. But recent ...

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 ...

If you liked this story, share it with other people. Natural rock weathering is a fundamental part of Earth’s carbon cycle but occurs over thousands of years. Enhancing this cycle by spreading fine ...

Sedimentary rocks and water are both abundant on Earth's surface, and over long stretches of time, their interactions turn mountains into sediment. Researchers have long known that water weathers ...

A weird technology has emerged as a leader in the quest for net zero. But this form of carbon capture, called Enhanced Rock Weathering (or ERW for short), still requires innovation — and government ...

Research led by the University of Wyoming shows that physical weathering is far more important than previously recognized in the breakdown of rock in mountain landscapes. Because it is difficult to ...
