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 ...

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 ...

On a banana plantation in rural Australia, a second-generation farming family spreads crushed volcanic rock between rows of ripening fruit. Eight thousand kilometers away, two young men in central ...

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 ...

A weird technology has emerged as a leader in the quest for net zero. But this form of carbon capture, called Enhanced Rock Weathering (or ERW for short), still requires innovation — and government ...

Terradot, a leader in Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) technology, today announced an agreement with Microsoft to remove 12,000 tonnes of CO2 from Earth's atmosphere between 2026 and 2029. The deal is ...

Once upon a time, seasons in Gale Crater probably felt something like those in Iceland. But nobody was there to bundle up more than 3 billion years ago. The ancient Martian crater is the focus of a ...

Rivers may have operated on a global scale around 3.5 billion years ago. The new find comes courtesy of ancient rocks in China and South Africa. A change in rock chemistry around that time provides ...

Looks like limestone’s on the menu for some unknown microbe.
