Throughout most of Earth's geological history, its paleoclimate has remained hospitable to life—largely thanks to continental silicate weathering, which acts as a long-term planetary thermostat. A ...

Could blending of crushed rock with arable soil lower global temperatures? Researchers of Mainz University have studied global warming events from 40 and 56 million years ago to find answers. Their ...

During the Ordovician period, the concentration of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere was about eight times higher than today. It has been hard to explain why the climate cooled and why the ...

For many hundreds of millions of years, the average temperature at the surface of the Earth has varied by not much more than 20 degrees Celsius, facilitating life on our planet. To maintain such ...

A new study published in the journal Nature reveals that the thawing of permafrost soils does not only release carbon, but may also promote its ...

The area’s terrain and dense vegetation presented challenging accessibility along the line. In the transmission industry, the use of weathering steel, also known as COR-TEN, began as early as 40 years ...
