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 ...

Researchers from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have conducted an ecosystem-wide ...

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 ...

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 ...

The planet’s long-standing natural “thermostat” is being outpaced by an feedback loop process involving algae, phosphorus, ...

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 ...

Irish startup Silicate is poised to launch its first U.S. trial of advanced carbon removal techniques. The Sligo-headquartered firm asserts it possesses state-of-the-art technology capable of ...

Scientists have understood for years that silicate minerals react with CO 2 and water to remove CO 2 from the atmosphere, acting as a thermostat that kept Earth’s climate broadly stable over billions ...
