Natural rock weathering is a fundamental part of Earth’s carbon cycle but occurs over thousands of years. Enhancing this cycle by spreading fine volcanic rock on agricultural land is a form of ...

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have conducted an ecosystem-wide assessment of enhanced rock weathering (ERW) in forest plantations. Led by ...

It's one of the latest technologies for sequestering carbon: crush silicate rocks, add to crop soil, and let the rock dust naturally react with carbon dioxide. The reactions bind carbon into stable ...

A tractor drives across a grassy field, facing the camera, between rows of wire trellises over plants pruned close to the ground. Clouds of finely ground rock spray out on either side. As part of the ...

Climate change is altering where and when rocks are most likely to fracture across Spain, according to new research that ...

Google and other tech companies are spending millions to clean up their carbon pollution using rocks. Google and other tech companies are spending millions to clean up their carbon pollution using ...

Weathering modifies rock fabric through chemical alteration and physical disintegration, driving changes in pore structure, fracture density and mineral assemblage. Chemical reactions between water, ...
