A new study published in the journal Nature has overturned the view that natural rock weathering acts as a CO2 sink, indicating instead that this can also act as a large carbon dioxide source, ...

High erosion in southern France exposes these sedimentary rocks to weathering, releasing carbon dioxide as the ancient organic carbon breaks down. The Earth’s stones contain a large amount of carbon ...

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 ...

From sugar plantations in Brazil to tea estates in India, crushed rock is being sprinkled across large stretches of farmland globally in a novel bid to combat climate change. The technique is called ...

Enhanced Rock Weathering accelerates natural carbon dioxide capture by spreading crushed rock on farmland ERW uses finely ground basalt to speed up weathering, locking carbon dioxide as bicarbonate ...

A study led by a Yale University researcher shows that farmers around the world could help the planet reach a key carbon removal goal set by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) by ...

A new study led by the University of Oxford has challenged the view that natural rock weathering acts as a CO2 sink, finding it may instead act as a large CO2 source, rivalling that of volcanoes.
