A tractor spreads crushed white rock on a green hill, leaving a plume of dust in its wake. Scientists believe that enhanced ...

Chemical weathering can control how susceptible bedrock in river beds is to erosion, according to new research. In addition to explaining how climate can influence landscape erosion rates, the results ...

Weathering modifies rock fabric through chemical alteration and physical disintegration, driving changes in pore structure, fracture density and mineral assemblage. Chemical reactions between water, ...

There could be some good news on the horizon as scientists try to understand the effects and processes related to climate change. A team of Florida State University scientists has discovered that ...

A new study found a dramatic increase in the chemical weathering rates of mined landscapes, which are melting away bedrock up to 45 times faster than unmined areas. The weathering has global ...

The processes that form the weathered bedrock profile in mountain catchments are not well understood and directly influence the evolution of mountain topography. Our study focuses on the landscape ...

Since the early 1980s, Earth scientists have understood that erosion and weathering of rock slowly removes CO 2 from the atmosphere, regulating Earth’s climate on geological timescales. But recent ...

To geochemist Greg Rau, the future looks like a seaside power plant. More specifically, it looks like a biomass combustion plant that’s actually carbon-negative because the CO2 emissions are dissolved ...

Spacecraft exploring Mars such as the Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity, as well as the Mars Science Laboratory or Curiosity rover, have accumulated evidence for wet and habitable ...
