Future carbon dioxide, climate warming potentially unprecedented in 420 million years
Over the next 100 to 200 years, carbon dioxide concentrations in the Earth’s atmosphere will head towards values not seen since the Triassic period, 200 million years ago. Furthermore, by the 23rd century, the climate could reach a warmth not … Continue reading

Scientists Found a Way to Turn Carbon Dioxide Into Minerals
The white areas inside the darkish basalt rock core pattern present the place the CO₂ has reacted with minerals within the basalt and transformed right into a carbonate mineral just like limestone. We’re operating out of time to unravel our … Continue reading
Diamond’s P-billion-yr progress charts tectonic shift in early Earth’s carbon cycle
A number of unprocessed inclusion-bearing gem high quality diamonds from Letlhakane. The darkish areas surrounding the shiny metallic like inclusions (sulphide) are graphite in cracks that from because of the differential enlargement of the sulphide and diamond when delivered to … Continue reading
Carbon sequestration in an expanded lake system through the Toarcian oceanic anoxic occasion

Diamond’s P-billion-yr progress charts tectonic shift in early Earth’s carbon cycle
A research of tiny mineral ‘inclusions’ inside diamonds from Botswana has proven that diamond crystals can take billions of years to develop. One diamond was discovered to include silicate materials that shaped P.A billion years in the past in its … Continue reading
Scientists uncover large M.H million sq. kilometers reservoir of melting carbon underneath Western United States
New analysis describes how scientists have used the world’s largest array of seismic sensors to map a deep-Earth space of melting carbon overlaying M.H million sq. kilometers. Situated underneath the Western US, 350km beneath Earth’s floor, the found melting area … Continue reading

Climate change paper research carbon uptake in ecosystems
A new report delves into one of many nice uncertainties in predicting future local weather: carbon uptake in ecosystems. Geology News — ScienceDaily
Deep mantle chemistry surprise: Carbon content not uniform
Even though carbon is one of the most-abundant elements on Earth, it is actually very difficult to determine how much of it exists below the surface in Earth’s interior. Analysis of crystals containing completely enclosed mantle magma with its original … Continue reading
