Theme 1, our Earth Systems Modelling work, is developing sophisticated modelling tools to understand and optimize the interaction between enhanced weathering and managed croplands. Read the first ...

Scientists have come up with a model to better understand how weathering, the process that acts as Earth's thermostat, responds to changing global temperatures. Rocks, rain and carbon dioxide help ...

This summer Biosphere 2, the glassed-in ecosystem in the Arizona desert, will go with the flow. The largest-ever experiment to study how water moves through the landscape is set to start there next ...

There is no weather in space - but there is weathering: Celestial bodies are bombarded by high energy particles. On the Mars moon Phobos, the situation is complicated: It is hit by particles from the ...

The white domes and glass pyramids of Biosphere 2 rise high above the desert outside Tucson, Arizona. In the early 1990s, it housed eight people for two years as part of a notoriously failed ...

Reactions between rocks, rain and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have helped to stabilise the climate throughout Earth’s history, but they won’t prevent our carbon emissions from causing severe ...
