Throughout most of Earth's geological history, its paleoclimate has remained hospitable to life—largely thanks to continental silicate weathering, which acts as a long-term planetary thermostat. A ...

A tractor spreads crushed white rock on a green hill, leaving a plume of dust in its wake. Scientists believe that enhanced rock weathering may offer a way to remove carbon from the atmosphere if it ...

Since the early 1980s, Earth scientists have understood that erosion and weathering of rock slowly removes CO 2 from the atmosphere, regulating Earth’s climate on geological timescales. But recent ...

Could blending of crushed rock with arable soil lower global temperatures? Researchers of Mainz University have studied global warming events from 40 and 56 million years ago to find answers. Their ...
