The Southern Andes is considered one of the most active volcanic regions in the world. Researchers issue warning after ...

UC researchers have devised a first-of-its-kind study to measure the carbon sequestered by enhanced rock weathering, a ...

Weathering of huge amounts of tiny rocks could be a means to reduce the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. While this is normally a slow natural process during which minerals chemically bind CO2, ...

Earth’s climate balance isn’t just governed by the slow weathering of silicate rocks, which capture carbon and stabilize temperature over eons. New research reveals that biological and oceanic ...

Sedimentary rocks on the banks of the Mackenzie River, Canada, a major river basin where rock weathering is a CO2 source. Image credit: Robert Hilton. Rocks contain an enormous store of carbon in the ...

Not all nitrogen comes from the atmosphere Up to a quarter of nitrogen on Earth comes from rocks Discovery could greatly improve climate change projections and focus carbon sequestration efforts For ...

Earthworms don't stop shaping soil processes when they die. A new study shows they can still help store carbon in the soil, ...

Some cobbles and pebbles, enclosed in eolian sediment with artifacts, were unweathered and others were very highly weathered. Because the artifacts were tentatively dated as 1,000 to 2,000 years old, ...

Reactions between rocks, rain and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have helped to stabilise the climate throughout Earth’s history, but they won’t prevent our carbon emissions from causing severe ...

America’s geological wonders don’t need erupting volcanoes to create breathtaking spectacles that look straight out of a ...

Not all of the nitrogen on the planet comes from the atmosphere, according to a new study. Up to a quarter comes from Earth's bedrock. The discovery could greatly improve climate change projections.
