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 ...

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 ...

For many hundreds of millions of years, the average temperature at the surface of the Earth has varied by not much more than 20° Celsius, facilitating life on our planet. To maintain such stable ...

Natural rock weathering is a fundamental part of Earth’s carbon cycle but occurs over thousands of years. Enhancing this cycle by spreading fine volcanic rock on agricultural land is a form of ...

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 ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – Cornell University researchers have found that enhanced rock weathering, an emerging carbon-removal technique, needs to be widely adopted to move the needle on global warming and ...
