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 ...

Chemical weathering can control how susceptible bedrock in river beds is to erosion, according to new research. In addition to explaining how climate can influence landscape erosion rates, the results ...

The processes that form the weathered bedrock profile in mountain catchments are not well understood and directly influence the evolution of mountain topography. Our study focuses on the landscape ...

A study published in Nature Geoscience reports new findings on the effects that erosion has on the carbon cycle. The study comes from a group of researchers led by Aaron Bufe and Niels Hovius of the ...

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 ...

Chemical weathering trends were detected within the silt/clay fractions of material taken from the 1750, 1852, and 1928 moraines, of Storbreen, Jotunheimen Mountains, southern Norway. In addition to ...

Scientists have discovered that chemical weathering, a process in which carbon dioxide breaks down rocks and then gets trapped in sediment, can happen at a much faster rate than scientists previously ...

To geochemist Greg Rau, the future looks like a seaside power plant. More specifically, it looks like a biomass combustion plant that’s actually carbon-negative because the CO2 emissions are dissolved ...

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 ...
