To geochemist Greg Rau, the future looks like a seaside power plant. More specifically, it looks like a biomass combustion plant that’s actually carbon-negative because the CO2 emissions are dissolved ...

The deflation of the upland limestone landscape by slow solution weathering is demonstrated at Norber in the Yorkshire Dales. Limestone is dissolved very slowly over a period of time. Erratics at ...

Researchers from the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC), and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have invented a new method for controlling the emission of carbon dioxide from power ...

Visitors to the Western Wall in Jerusalem can see that some of its stones are extremely eroded. This is good news for people placing prayer notes in the wall's cracks and crevices, but presents a ...

Researchers have investigated erosion in the different kinds of limestone in the Western Wall at the foot of Jerusalem's Temple Mount. Stones made up of large crystals were almost unchanged in 2000 ...

In a fresh approach to tackling climate change, finely ground rock is being sprinkled across large expanses of farmlands worldwide in a bid to turbocharge a natural geological process called ...

SEVERAL distinct forms of weathering are met with in the Sunderland Magnesian Limestone, two of which I will describe, leaving two others for another occasion. In one of them the prevailing rod, or ...

Limestone Pavements are bare limestone rock surfaces composed of slabs of rock (clints), separated by variable-width vertical cracks (grikes) . These grikes have developed by weathering and enhanced ...
