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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Thermal stress weathering arises when rock masses undergo temperature fluctuations that induce internal stresses through differential heating and cooling. Over short (diurnal) and long (seasonal to ...

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 ...

Rocks, rain and carbon dioxide help control Earth's climate over thousands of years -- like a thermostat -- through a process called weathering. A new study may improve our understanding of how this ...
