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 ...

Anisovolumetric weathering is much more common than previously thought, and variations in this process can be explained by climate and erosion. Research led by the University of Wyoming shows that ...

Geochemical weathering in mineral deposits encompasses the breakdown of primary rock‐forming minerals, the mobilisation and fixation of liberated elements, and the development of secondary mineral ...

Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. Reverse weathering is one of the ocean's most important yet least understood geochemical processes. During this natural process, ...

On the Moon, the lack of atmosphere and accompanying features such as biological activity, oxygen-rich air, flowing water and rain, wind, and most erosion allows the lunar regolith to preserve a ...

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 ...

Remote compositional analysis of planetary surfaces; environmental change over Mars history; chemical and physical weathering processes on terrestrial planets; infrared spectroscopy and quantitative ...

Research led by the University of Wyoming shows that physical weathering is far more important than previously recognized in the breakdown of rock in mountain landscapes. Because it is difficult to ...
