Introduction Have you ever visited a canyon or cave and wondered how those formations came to be? Or observed smooth stones by a river or beach? These results are due to a process called weathering.

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, ...

The paper describes experimental rock weathering in a climatic chamber of about 90 different Swedish rocks. The specimens were when possible sawed into cubes with a side of about 7.5 cm. The amount of ...

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 ...

Brad Carr, a UW associate research scientist in geology and geophysics, uses the Geoprobe instrument to sample the subsurface in the foothills of the southern Sierra Nevada in California. Carr ...

A new University of Washington study shows that the textbook understanding of global chemical weathering -- in which rocks are dissolved, washed down rivers and eventually end up on the ocean floor to ...

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter. Tech companies, banks and shipping groups are investing in a method of carbon dioxide removal that promises to ...

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, ...

Evidence from the age of the dinosaurs to today shows that chemical weathering of rocks is less sensitive to global temperature, and may depend on the steepness of the surface. The results call into ...
