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 ...

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 ...

Rivers integrate chemical weathering across diverse rock types, climates and land uses, conveying dissolved solutes from catchments to the ocean. The dissolution of silicate minerals consumes ...

Since the early 1980s, Earth scientists have understood that erosion and weathering of rock slowly removes CO 2 from the ...

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 ...

A study on Rulung Glacier in Ladakh found that rising temperatures are intensifying interactions between meltwater and the ...

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 ...

The famous vertical weathering patterns on the Sphinx enclosure walls have long been cited as proof the monument predates ...

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 ...
