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 ...

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 ...

Geochemical weathering in mineral deposits encompasses the breakdown of primary rock‐forming minerals, the mobilisation and fixation of liberated elements, and the development of secondary mineral ...

Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. Reverse weathering is one of the ocean's most important yet least understood geochemical processes. During this natural process, ...

Thermal stress weathering arises when rock masses undergo temperature fluctuations that induce internal stresses through differential heating and cooling. Over short (diurnal) and long (seasonal to ...

What if cropdusting could cool down the climate? What about rockdusting? Turns out sprinkling rock dust on fields may enhance a process called rock weathering, capable of trapping and removing ...

Research led by the University of Wyoming shows that physical weathering is far more important than previously recognized in the breakdown of rock in mountain landscapes. Because it is difficult to ...

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 ...

Two new publications remap the understanding of reverse weathering in the scientific community. The Dauphin Island Sea Lab’s Senior Marine Scientist, Dr. Jeffrey Krause, played a key role in both ...
