CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 7, 2007 — Researchers at Harvard University and Pennsylvania State University have invented a technology, inspired by nature, to reduce the accumulation of atmospheric carbon ...
Sandstone landscapes, with their intricate forms and textures, offer an excellent window into the processes that shape our planet’s surface. The evolution of these formations is governed by a ...
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 ...
Magnesium isotope geochemistry has emerged as a pivotal tool in deciphering Earth’s surface and subsurface processes, particularly in the context of chemical weathering. By studying the subtle ...
Scientists have understood for years that silicate minerals react with CO 2 and water to remove CO 2 from the atmosphere, acting as a thermostat that kept Earth’s climate broadly stable over billions ...
Anisovolumetric weathering is much more common than previously thought, and variations in this process can be explained by climate and erosion. Research led by the University of Wyoming shows that ...
Weathering and erosion slowly chisel, polish, and buff Earth's rock into ever evolving works of art—and then wash the remains ...
A startup speeding up a natural rock weathering process for carbon removal just raised $12 million. Undo, backed by Chris Sacca's Lowercarbon Capital, already works with Microsoft and Stripe. Check ...

On a banana plantation in rural Australia, a second-generation farming family spreads crushed volcanic rock between rows of ripening fruit. Eight thousand kilometers away, two young men in central ...
The Earth is getting hotter and consequences have been made manifest this summer around the world. Looking back in geological history, global warming events are not uncommon: Around 56 million years ...
