Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) on agricultural soils is under consideration as a long-term carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategy. In this Perspective, we evaluate uncertainties related to ERW around ...

Could blending of crushed rock with arable soil lower global temperatures? Researchers of Mainz University have studied global warming events from 40 and 56 million years ago to find answers. Their ...

A new study led by researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo challenges a long-standing assumption about Earth's most extreme ice ages. Using numerical ...

A new study published in the journal Nature reveals that the thawing of permafrost soils does not only release carbon, but may also promote its removal from the atmosphere. Climate warming contributes ...

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 ...

Rock weathering, the breakdown and dissolving of rocks and minerals caused by their exposure to water, air and biological life, is a major regulator of Earth's atmospheric CO 2 levels and climate.

Weathering modifies rock fabric through chemical alteration and physical disintegration, driving changes in pore structure, fracture density and mineral assemblage. Chemical reactions between water, ...

New research has overturned the traditional view that natural rock weathering acts as a carbon sink that removes CO2 from the atmosphere. Instead, this can also act as a large CO2 source, rivaling ...

The study was conducted by researchers from the Department of Earth and Climate Science, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune ...
