Natural rock weathering is a fundamental part of Earth’s carbon cycle but occurs over thousands of years. Enhancing this cycle by spreading fine volcanic rock on agricultural land is a form of ...

Researchers have shown that weathering of rocks in the Canadian Arctic will accelerate with rising temperatures, triggering a positive feedback loop that will release more and more carbon dioxide to ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – Cornell University researchers have found that enhanced rock weathering, an emerging carbon-removal technique, needs to be widely adopted to move the needle on global warming and ...

A tractor drives across a grassy field, facing the camera, between rows of wire trellises over plants pruned close to the ground. Clouds of finely ground rock spray out on either side. As part of the ...

A weird technology has emerged as a leader in the quest for net zero. But this form of carbon capture, called Enhanced Rock Weathering (or ERW for short), still requires innovation — and government ...

Weathering and erosion are nature’s slow but powerful sculptors, breaking down rocks and reshaping landscapes over millions of years. From frost wedging in mountain peaks to rivers carving deep ...
