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 Critical Zone encompasses the near‐surface environment where rock, soil, water, air and biota interact in a dynamic equilibrium that drives essential geochemical cycles. Research in this area ...
Sandstone landscapes, with their intricate forms and textures, offer an excellent window into the processes that shape our planet’s surface. The evolution of these formations is governed by a ...
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 ...
Research led by the University of Wyoming shows that physical weathering is far more important than previously recognized in the breakdown of rock in mountain landscapes. Because it is difficult to ...

Studies reevaluate reverse weathering process, shifting understanding of global climate
Reverse weathering is one of the ocean's most important yet least understood geochemical processes. During this natural process, dissolved minerals and chemicals combine to form new clay minerals in ...
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 ...
Remote compositional analysis of planetary surfaces; environmental change over Mars history; chemical and physical weathering processes on terrestrial planets; infrared spectroscopy and quantitative ...
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 ...
Brad Carr, a UW associate research scientist in geology and geophysics, uses the Geoprobe instrument to sample the subsurface in the foothills of the southern Sierra Nevada in California. Carr ...
New findings on reverse weathering speed For decades, scientists believed reverse weathering was too slow to influence any environmental change on shorter time scales. However, these new studies ...
