Spread some crushed silicate rock atop the world’s vast agricultural lands to absorb atmospheric carbon and thereby tackle ...

Weathering and erosion slowly chisel, polish, and buff Earth's rock into ever evolving works of art—and then wash the remains into the sea. The processes are definitively independent, but not ...

Freeze-thaw weathering occurs when rocks are porous (contain holes) or permeable (allow water to pass through). Water enters cracks in the rock. When temperatures drop, the water freezes and ...

They can occur after periods of heavy rain, when the water saturates overlying rock, making it heavy and liable to slide. Soil creep is a very slow movement, occurring on very gentle slopes ...

In soils, water is a major driver of biogeochemical processes (Figure 1). Chemical reactions that control soil formation and weathering reactions occur almost exclusively in liquid water (Lindsay ...

Without human influences water quality would be determined by the weathering of bedrock minerals ... environment that can alter the physical and chemical composition of water.

Through our three field sites, we’ll be taking a range of various samples from the soils, plants, water systems and air ... cations and anions are affected We’ll be quantifying field weathering rates, ...

These coatings offer enhanced protection against weathering, corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure, making them ideal ...

Fool's gold may be driving a disturbing climate feedback loop in the Canadian Arctic.

With funding and support from the Climate and Sustainability Translational Fund, researchers will pursue green jet fuel, ...

Water chemists are strongly committed to the environment. They are objective, highly practical people with good analytical skills. Water chemists are concerned with analyzing and maintaining the ...

National drinking water guidelines for potential cancer-causing chemicals are set to be tightened but some communities and experts want them to go further.
