On the banks of the Columbia River, tall columns of rock poke out from the cliffs. “So you see all of these black rocks that are on either side of us, on either side of the river? Those are basalts.

To avoid the worst effects of climate change, many billions of metric tons of industrially generated carbon dioxide will have to be captured and stored away by the end of this century. One place to ...

GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - In a win for both farmers and environmentalists, researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have successfully quantified the CO2-reduction potential of ...

The Illinois team was able to calculate both the weathering rate and carbon dioxide reduction potential of the basalt rock amendments applied to maize and miscanthus fields. Those factors are critical ...

A recent study published in Global Change Biology examines a novel carbon capture technique known as enhanced weathering (EW) that involves the application ground-up silicate rock to Midwestern farm ...

As Nichole Schwend weaves through the basalt rocks that litter Celebration Park, she points to faint engravings on the dark desert rocks and asks visitors what they see. One carving near the ...
