Could a pile of rocks help to solve the climate crisis? Scientists at California’s Stanford University say they could. The ...

These include weathering, erosion, transportation and sedimentation. Substances in river water react with minerals in rocks and cause chemical weathering Weathering close weatheringWeathering ...

During chemical weathering, rocks could then suck up CO2 when some minerals were attacked by the weak acid in rainwater. This process could counter the continuous CO2 production from volcanoes and ...

Weathering is the mechanical and chemical hammer that breaks down and sculpts the rocks. Erosion transports the fragments away. Working together they create and reveal marvels of nature from ...

A climate intervention strategy called enhanced rock weathering, if applied globally, could help meet a key IPCC goal for slowing climate change, according to new research published in the AGU ...

A new study in Chile shows how small differences in rock type can drive large differences in erosion, vegetation, and river networks, illuminating the role of mineralogy in shaping landscapes.
