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 ...

Researchers have shown that weathering of rocks in the Canadian Arctic will accelerate with rising temperatures, triggering a positive feedback loop that will release more and more carbon dioxide to ...

A weird technology has emerged as a leader in the quest for net zero. But this form of carbon capture, called Enhanced Rock Weathering (or ERW for short), still requires innovation — and government ...

The chemical weathering of continental silicate rocks by bicarbonate and rainwater leads to dissolution of silicate rocks and their constituents into rivers and streams. As these silicate rocks ...

Rivers may have operated on a global scale around 3.5 billion years ago. The new find comes courtesy of ancient rocks in China and South Africa. A change in rock chemistry around that time provides ...
