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 ...

Magnesium isotope geochemistry has emerged as a pivotal tool in deciphering Earth’s surface and subsurface processes, particularly in the context of chemical weathering. By studying the subtle ...

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 ...

Rocks, rain and carbon dioxide help control Earth's climate over thousands of years -- like a thermostat -- through a process called weathering. A new study may improve our understanding of how this ...

Reactions between rocks, rain and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have helped to stabilise the climate throughout Earth’s history, but they won’t prevent our carbon emissions from causing severe ...

The decay of rocks at the Earth's surface may play a lesser role in regulating our climate than previously thought, says new research. The weathering of rocks at the Earth's surface may remove less ...

Geologist Peter D. Clift, speaking at Lucknow University, explained how the Himalayas are responsible for the Indo-Gangetic Plain's fertility. The mountains provide a continuous source of ...
