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 ...

NYU faculty established New York City’s first site for enhanced rock weathering — a process that takes carbon dioxide from ...

Weathering and erosion slowly chisel, polish, and buff Earth's rock into ever evolving works of art—and then wash the remains into the sea. The processes are definitively independent, but not ...

Could blending of crushed rock with arable soil lower global temperatures? Researchers study global warming events from 40 and 56 million years ago to find answers. The Earth is getting hotter and ...

The natural rock weathering process, while effective in breaking down carbon and storing it within rocks over thousands of years, may not provide the immediate solution to combat climate change. With ...

Scientists have discovered that chemical weathering, a process in which carbon dioxide breaks down rocks and then gets trapped in sediment, can happen at a much faster rate than scientists previously ...

Rocks are not eternal. Even the tallest mountain will eventually dissolve and disintegrate. Geologists call this process “weathering.” It sounds harmless enough, but weathering is one of the most ...

Simply sign up to the Climate change myFT Digest -- delivered directly to your inbox. Rocks have been helping to draw CO₂ out of the atmosphere for billions of years, but the process is too slow to ...

The Earth is getting hotter and consequences have been made manifest this summer around the world. Looking back in geological history, global warming events are not uncommon: Around 56 million years ...
