Sandstone geomorphology and weathering processes are critical areas of study in understanding how natural landscapes evolve and how various environmental factors influence rock formations.

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 ...

Magnesium isotope geochemistry is an important field of study that helps scientists understand weathering processes and their implications for the environment. Weathering, the process by which ...

Freeze-thaw weathering occurs when rocks are porous ... The ice melts and water makes its way deeper into the cracks. The process repeats itself until the rock splits entirely.

Exposed rocks along the coastline can be broken down by the processes of weathering. Freeze-thaw weathering occurs when rocks are porous (contain holes) or permeable (allow water to pass through).

A new study reveals that implementing enhanced weathering (EW), the practice of adding crushed basalt to soils, with U.S. agriculture could remove between 160 and 300 million metric tons of carbon ...

A recent study that was led by the University of Oxford overturned the view that natural rock weathering removed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It revealed that this process could be a ...

We study the weathering of rock to produce sediment, the transport of sediment on hillslopes and in rivers, and the erosion of bedrock by rivers. We address glacial and periglacial processes in polar ...

The LEGO Group is investing more than £2m in four carbon removal projects with initiatives focusing on rock weathering, reforestation and biochar creation.
