In the whole history of Earth's climate, few events are as extreme as those that geologists call "Snowball Earth." ...

Spreading crushed rock on farms could remove gigatons of carbon - but only if the method spreads widely, especially in warm, wet regions.

In nature, tiny crystals known as nanocrystals are formed slowly over many years. Rocks and minerals react with air, water, and carbon dioxide in a process called chemical weathering. These reactions ...

It's one of the latest technologies for sequestering carbon: crush silicate rocks, add to crop soil, and let the rock dust ...

Weathering is key Ecosystems need nitrogen and other nutrients to absorb carbon dioxide pollution, and there is a limited amount of it available from plants and soils. If a large amount of nitrogen ...

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, ...

Discover how adding crushed silicate rocks to crop soils could improve the global carbon footprint of the farming industry.

Not all nitrogen comes from the atmosphere Up to a quarter of nitrogen on Earth comes from rocks Discovery could greatly improve climate change projections and focus carbon sequestration efforts For ...
