For most organisms on Earth, rocks are objects, not food. But for one oddball microbe, desert limestone seems to have been on ...

For the first time in history, scientists have analyzed actual samples from the lunar farside—thanks to China’s Chang’e-6 ...

Weathering and erosion slowly chisel, polish, and buff Earth's rock into ever evolving works of art—and then wash the remains into the sea. The processes are definitively independent ...

In a paper published in National Science Review, a research team from the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, reveal differences in the near and far side lunar space ...

This theme utilises controlled environment facilities to explain mechanisms and genetic controls on weathering by major warm climate crops to accelerate development of new weathering varieties that ...

Our Theme 1 programme addresses questions concerning the capacity of rock weathering driven by intensively managed crops to capture carbon dioxide. This will ultimately affect future CO2-climate ...

The weathering of rocks should have increased the carbon deposit in deep sea sediments but instead, it has decreased. This is not the first time that reasons behind Earth’s cooling have been ...

A climate intervention strategy called enhanced rock weathering, if applied globally, could help meet a key IPCC goal for slowing climate change, according to new research published in the AGU ...
