Enhanced chemical weathering of rocks during the last glacial maximum: a sink for atmospheric CO2? [PDF]
, 1999 It has been proposed that increased rates of chemical weathering and the related drawdown of atmospheric CO2 on the continents may have at least partly contributed to the low CO2 concentrations during the last glacial maximum LGM..
