CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 7, 2007 — Researchers at Harvard University and Pennsylvania State University have invented a technology, inspired by nature, to reduce the accumulation of atmospheric carbon ...

Hebrew University experts continue in footsteps of Open University researcher who built special reactor that flushes CO2, ...

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 ...

Could blending of crushed rock with arable soil lower global temperatures? Researchers study global warming events from 40 and 56 million years ago to find answers. The Earth is getting hotter and ...

The natural rock weathering process, while effective in breaking down carbon and storing it within rocks over thousands of years, may not provide the immediate solution to combat climate change. With ...

Plankton play a central role in a climate process that scientists now say may behave more aggressively than once thought. As ...

Magnesium isotope geochemistry has emerged as a pivotal tool in deciphering Earth’s surface and subsurface processes, particularly in the context of chemical weathering. By studying the subtle ...

Figure 1: A monochromatic image of asteroid Itokawa with NIRS observation points indicated. Figure 3: Comparison of reflectance spectra of two areas on Itokawa with an ordinary chondrite spectrum. We ...
