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 ...

Planetary scientists have discovered that high energy electrons in Earth's plasma sheet are contributing to weathering processes on the Moon's surface and, importantly, the electrons may have aided ...

Chemical weathering is a fundamental Earth surface process that transforms primary rock minerals into secondary minerals and dissolved ions, thereby controlling the long‐term regulation of atmospheric ...

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 ...

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 ...

Two new publications remap the understanding of reverse weathering in the scientific community. The Dauphin Island Sea Lab’s Senior Marine Scientist, Dr. Jeffrey Krause, played a key role in both ...

A group of researchers has taken advantage of different erosion rates and investigated how uplift and erosion of rocks determine the balance of carbon emissions and uptake. The surprising result: at ...
