Discover how adding crushed silicate rocks to crop soils could improve the global carbon footprint of the farming industry.

Spreading crushed rock on farms could remove gigatons of carbon - but only if the method spreads widely, especially in warm, wet regions.

It's one of the latest technologies for sequestering carbon: crush silicate rocks, add to crop soil, and let the rock dust naturally react with carbon dioxide. The reactions bind carbon into stable ...

Natural rock weathering is a fundamental part of Earth’s carbon cycle but occurs over thousands of years. Enhancing this cycle by spreading fine volcanic rock on agricultural land is a form of ...

Researchers have shown that weathering of rocks in the Canadian Arctic will accelerate with rising temperatures, triggering a positive feedback loop that will release more and more carbon dioxide to ...

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 film explores the processes of weathering and sedimentation that shape the Earth's surface. It explains how rocks break down into mud and sand through natural elements, which are then carried ...
