A new study reveals that implementing enhanced weathering (EW), the practice of adding crushed basalt to soils, with U.S. agriculture could remove between 160 and 300 million metric tons of carbon ...

It's one of the latest technologies for sequestering carbon: crush silicate rocks, add to crop soil, and let the rock dust naturally react with carbon dioxide. The reactions bind carbon into stable ...

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 ...

For many hundreds of millions of years, the average temperature at the surface of the Earth has varied by not much more than 20° Celsius, facilitating life on our planet. To maintain such stable ...

Theme 1, our Earth Systems Modelling work, is developing sophisticated modelling tools to understand and optimize the interaction between enhanced weathering and managed croplands. Read the first ...
