Determining what controls the geological carbon cycle is crucial for understanding climate stability, planetary habitability and the long-term consequences of anthropogenic carbon emissions. On long ...

Figure 1: Enhanced weathering from pulverized silicate rock additions to the tropics increases CO 2 consumption. Figure 2: Enhanced weathering lowers atmospheric CO 2 with projected ...

Scientists have come up with a model to better understand how weathering, the process that acts as Earth's thermostat, responds to changing global temperatures. Rocks, rain and carbon dioxide help ...
