The towering peaks of the Southern Andes are not just shaping the skyline of South America—they are also quietly influencing Earth's atmosphere. Chemical weathering, the process at the heart of this ...

A new study reveals that implementing enhanced weathering (EW), the practice of adding crushed basalt to soils, with U.S. agriculture could remove between 160 and 300 million metric tons of carbon ...

The surface of Mars is desiccated, cold, and oxidized today. However, ancient parts of the crust contain hundreds of channel networks and dry lakes that must have formed in a warmer and wetter climate ...

For many hundreds of millions of years, the average temperature at the surface of the Earth has varied by not much more than 20 degrees Celsius, facilitating life on our planet. To maintain such ...

Sandbars swirl beneath Oregon Inlet in Cape Hatteras National Seashore on North Carolina's Outer Banks. Waves driven by ocean winds can cause the sandbars here to shift and change literally by the ...

Erosion is responsible for some of the weirdest-looking natural wonders on Earth. The effects of rainfall, wind abrasion, wave and river flow, glacial movement, and that of weathering—the breaking ...

Enhanced weathering in agriculture is a potential gigatonne-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR) pathway, but its potential remains difficult to constrain. We used a formal expert elicitation process to ...
