Spreading finely crushed basalt across farmland has been promoted as a relatively simple way to remove large quantities of ...

A tractor spreads crushed white rock on a green hill, leaving a plume of dust in its wake. Scientists believe that enhanced rock weathering may offer a way to remove carbon from the atmosphere if it ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Could blending of crushed rock with arable soil lower global temperatures? Researchers study global warming events from 40 and 56 million years ago to find answers. The Earth is getting hotter and ...
