Rocks are not eternal. Even the tallest mountain will eventually dissolve and disintegrate. Geologists call this process “weathering.” It sounds harmless enough, but weathering is one of the most ...

Dan Prevost grows corn, soybeans and cotton on about a thousand acres of farmland near the central Mississippi town of Raymond. Because the soil tends to get too acidic with the Deep South's heavy ...

Most countries will not achieve climate neutrality through greenhouse gas emission reductions alone; carbon sinks are also needed to offset unavoidable emissions. Researchers are discussing technical ...

The application of crushed rock to farmers' fields may not only reduce greenhouse gases, it could also boost crop yields by up to 16%. These are the findings of a new study conducted by scientists ...

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, ...

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 ...

What if cropdusting could cool down the climate? What about rockdusting? Turns out sprinkling rock dust on fields may enhance a process called rock weathering, capable of trapping and removing ...
