Middle Eocene greenhouse warming facilitated by diminished weathering feedback

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
The Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO) represents a ~500-kyr period of global warming ~40 million years ago and is associated with a rise in atmospheric CO2 concentrations, but the cause of this CO2 rise remains enigmatic.

The Role of Sulfuric Acid in Continental Weathering: Insights From Dissolved Major Ions and Inorganic Carbon Isotopes of the Teesta River, Lower Brahmaputra System

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Chemical weathering in the Himalayan river basins plays a key role in the global carbon cycle that controls the climate. In this contribution, the spatial distribution of dissolved major ions and (inorganic) carbon isotopic compositions of the Teesta ...

Tracing silicate weathering processes in the permafrost-dominated Lena River watershed using lithium isotopes

open access: yesGeochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2019
Increasing global temperatures are causing widespread changes in the Arctic, including permafrost thawing and altered freshwater inputs and trace metal and carbon fluxes into the ocean and atmosphere.

Boron availability and fertilizer response of maize in soils from sub‐Saharan Africa

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Low boron (B) availability is associated with strongly weathered, coarse‐textured, and low organic matter soils, widespread in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). It is unknown to what extent B fertilization can increase maize yields in SSA.

Heterogeneity in ice sheets- vs. monsoon rainfall-induced silicate weathering from high to low latitudes

open access: yesnpj Climate and Atmospheric Science
One of the most challenging problems in paleoclimate research is how orbital cyclicities forced Earth’s climate variations during the late Quaternary.

Atmospheric Evolution

open access: yes, 2017
Earth's atmosphere has evolved as volatile species cycle between the atmosphere, ocean, biomass and the solid Earth. The geochemical, biological and astrophysical processes that control atmospheric evolution are reviewed from an "Earth Systems ...

Influence of palaeoweathering on trace metal concentrations and environmental proxies in black shales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The mineralogical and chemical compositions of Lower Carboniferous (Tournaisian) marine black shale from the Kowala quarry, the Holy Cross Mountains, Poland, were investigated.

Deglaciation of the Burren glacio‐karst, western Ireland, during Termination 1: Implications for North Atlantic climate and karstification

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Burren uplands in western Ireland form one of the most extensive and best‐preserved examples of glacio‐karst in Europe. Subsumed by the Irish ice sheet during the Late Pleistocene, granite erratic boulders and in situ silica veins in the limestone bedrock provide a rare opportunity to reconstruct the timing and rate of deglaciation ...

Rainfall amplified sea-level control on silicate weathering in the Indo-Pacific Convergence Zone during Quaternary glacials

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
The Indo-Pacific Convergence Zone is a key carbon sink via silicate weathering, yet its glacial-interglacial carbon dioxide consumption remains unclear.
