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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
An assemblage of highly weathered bedrock forms is reported from an upland ridge at 500 m a.s.l. near Cory Glacier on the southeastern coast of Ellesmere Island. Examples of grus accumulations, tafoni ...
A new study shows how land and ocean weathering form one system, linking rivers, rocks, and seafloor muds to shape Earth’s ...
The prevailing theory used to explain geographical variability in weathering is based on visual correlations with climatic regions. For instance, mechanical weathering is assumed to predominate in ...
Earthworms, the hardworking invertebrates that grace the upper layers of soil, have long been considered helpful in our home gardens. Earthworms are prolific munchers, grinding up organic material and ...
