Quicker option to make mineral to take away carbon dioxide from environment
Scientists have developed an accelerated option to produce magnesite, a mineral which might seize the greenhouse gasoline carbon dioxide from the environment, at room temperature. Eradicating carbon dioxide from the environment would gradual world warming. This work takes a unique … Continue reading
Giant igneous provinces contribute to ups and downs in atmospheric carbon dioxide
Modelling the situation of enormous igneous provinces for the previous 400 million years exhibits that their eruptions and subsequent weathering modulate international local weather. Geology News — ScienceDaily
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) – using geology to fight climate change
Practically everyone has an opinion on climate change by now, although for the vast majority of scientists, the weight of evidence is overwhelming – emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are causing climate change, sometimes referred to as … Continue reading
Decline in atmospheric carbon dioxide key to ancient climate transition
A decline in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels led to a fundamental shift in the behavior of the Earth’s climate system around one million years ago, according to new research led by the University of Southampton. Geology News — ScienceDaily
Study settles prehistoric puzzle, confirms modern link of carbon dioxide and global warming
Fossil leaves from Africa resolve a prehistoric climate puzzle and confirm the link between carbon dioxide and global warming. Research previously found conflicting data on high carbon levels and its link to climate change about 22 million years ago. But … Continue reading

Deep mantle: Enriched carbon source detected
Nature Geoscience 10, 625 (2017). doi:10.1038/ngeo3001 Author: Peter H. Barry Estimates of carbon in the deep mantle vary by more than an order of magnitude. Coupled volcanic CO2 emission data and magma supply rates reveal a carbon-rich mantle plume source … Continue reading

Crustal limestone platforms feed carbon to many of Earth’s arc volcanoes
A new analysis suggests that much of the carbon released from volcanic arcs, chains of volcanoes that arise along the tectonic plates of a subduction zone, comes from remobilizing limestone reservoirs in the Earth’s crust. Geology News — ScienceDaily
Top-of-atmosphere radiative forcing affected by brown carbon in the upper troposphere
