Enhanced rock weathering is a method that uses crushed volcanic rock to improve soil health. Ann Leslie Davis is a freelance science writer and recently covered the issue for Modern Farmer. We hear ...

The film explores the processes of weathering and sedimentation that shape the Earth's surface. It explains how rocks break down into mud and sand through natural elements, which are then carried ...

Natural rock weathering is a fundamental part of Earth’s carbon cycle but occurs over thousands of years. Enhancing this cycle by spreading fine volcanic rock on agricultural land is a form of ...

Anisovolumetric weathering is much more common than previously thought, and variations in this process can be explained by climate and erosion. Research led by the University of Wyoming shows that ...

What if cropdusting could cool down the climate? What about rockdusting? Turns out sprinkling rock dust on fields may enhance a process called rock weathering, capable of trapping and removing ...

Dan Prevost grows corn, soybeans and cotton on about a thousand acres of farmland near the central Mississippi town of Raymond. Because the soil tends to get too acidic with the Deep South's heavy ...

Pulverizing volcanic rock and spreading the dust like fertilizer on farm soils could suck billions of tons of carbon from the atmosphere and boost crop yields on a warming planet with a growing ...
