A Site-Specific Index Based on Weathering Forms Visible in Central Oxford, UK
Geosciences, 2012 The authenticity of much of the stone-work along Queen’s Lane in central Oxford, UK presented an opportunity to produce a photographic survey from which a weathering index could be established.

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..

WEATHER INDEX- THE BASIS OF WEATHER DERIVATIVES [PDF]
Annals of the University of Oradea: Economic Science, 2011 This paper approaches the subject of Weather Derivatives, more exactly their basic element the weather index. The weather index has two forms, the Heating Degree Day (HDD) and the Cooling Degree Day (CDD). We will try to explain their origin, use and the relationship between the two forms of the index.

Impact of nitrogenous fertilizers on carbonate dissolution in small agricultural catchments: Implications for weathering CO2 uptake at regional and global scales [PDF]
, 2008 The goal of this study was to highlight the occurrence of an additional proton-promoted weathering pathway of carbonate rocks in agricultural areas where N-fertilizers are extensively spread, and to estimate its consequences on riverine alkalinity and ...

The optimal drought index for designing weather index insurance
European Review of Agricultural Economics, 2020 AbstractClimate change increases the need for better insurance solutions that enable farmers to cope with drought risks. We design weather index insurance using drought indices based on precipitation, soil moisture and evapotranspiration as underlying drought index and compare their risk-reducing potential for winter wheat producers in Eastern Germany.
