Enhanced weathering is a negative emission technology that involves the spread of crushed silicate minerals and rocks on land and water. When applied to agricultural soils, the resulting increase in soil pH and release of nutrients may co-benefit plant ...

Rock organic carbon oxidation CO2 release offsets silicate weathering sink. [PDF]
Mountain uplift and erosion have regulated the balance of carbon between Earth’s interior and atmosphere, where prior focus has been placed on the role of silicate mineral weathering in CO_2 drawdown and its contribution to the stability of Earth’s ...

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Global silicate weathering flux overestimated because of sediment-water cation exchange. [PDF]
Significance Large rivers transport water and sediment to floodplains and oceans, supplying the nutrients that sustain life. They also transport carbon, removed from the atmosphere during mineral dissolution reactions, which is thought to provide a key ...

Abstract Recent studies have suggested that thermodynamic limitations on chemical weathering rates exert a first-order control on riverine solute fluxes and by extension, global chemical weathering rates. As such, these limitations may play a prominent role in the regulation of carbon dioxide levels (pCO2) over geologic timescales by constraining the

Quantifying silicate weathering fluxes in rivers [PDF]
Distinction of the inputs into rivers from silicate minerals, carbonate minerals, and salts is critical to estimating the silicate weathering fluxes thought to act as a major feedback controlling the Earth's climate on long timescales. Distinction of the

Negative CO2 emissions via enhanced silicate weathering in coastal environments. [PDF]
Negative emission technologies (NETs) target the removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, and are being actively investigated as a strategy to limit global warming to within the 1.5–2°C targets of the 2015 UN climate agreement.

High‐resolution mapping of the global silicate weathering carbon sink and its long‐term changes
Climatic and non‐climatic factors affect the chemical weathering of silicate rocks, which in turn affects the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere on a long‐term scale.

A number of negative emission technologies (NETs) have been proposed to actively remove CO2 from the atmosphere, with enhanced silicate weathering (ESW) as a relatively new NET with considerable climate change mitigation potential.

Drawdown of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) due to silicate weathering in the Himalaya has previously been implicated in Cenozoic cooling. However, over timescales shorter than that of the removal of marine sulfate (SO₄²⁻), the oxidation of pyrite (FeS₂)
