A new study led by the University of Oxford has overturned the view that natural rock weathering acts as a CO 2 sink, indicating instead that this can also act as a large CO 2 source, rivaling that of ...

Weathering of huge amounts of tiny rocks could be a means to reduce the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. While this is normally a slow natural process during which minerals chemically bind CO2, ...

Alphabet, Stripe, Shopify, and other companies struck a deal with startup Lithos to capture CO2 using rocks. It’s a major boost to a tactic for fighting climate change that has yet to prove itself at ...

Not all nitrogen comes from the atmosphere Up to a quarter of nitrogen on Earth comes from rocks Discovery could greatly improve climate change projections and focus carbon sequestration efforts For ...

In the whole history of Earth’s climate, few events are as extreme as those that geologists call “Snowball Earth.” But scientists still wonder why these events happen in the first place and what ...
