Rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere may trigger a series of geological and biological processes that could ensure the next ...

Rock weathering is a natural carbon removal process that occurs when “rain falls through the atmosphere” and “combines with ...

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 ...

A newly discovered global "thermostat" is a momentous discovery, but don't hope for it to offset the human impacts of climate ...

Our Theme 3 programme is undertaking large-scale field trials to address questions concerning rates of rock weathering in agricultural soils under natural conditions and how feedbacks may increase ...

During the Ordovician period, the concentration of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere was about eight times higher than today. It has been hard to explain why the climate cooled and why the ...

This theme utilises controlled environment facilities to explain mechanisms and genetic controls on weathering by major warm climate crops to accelerate development of new weathering varieties that ...

Sandbars swirl beneath Oregon Inlet in Cape Hatteras National Seashore on North Carolina's Outer Banks. Waves driven by ocean winds can cause the sandbars here to shift and change literally by the ...
