Field trials reveal crushed rock boosts carbon removal and improves crop yields Read the press release for our new paper on CO2 removal and increased crop yields via Enhanced Rock Weathering, recently published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Search How crushed volcanic rock in farm soil could help slow global warming — and boost crops A new study explores how planet-warming carbon dioxide could be absorbed using ‘enhanced rock weathering,’ a natural process sped up to fight climate change. 20 February 2018 | Inside Climate News Farming crops with rocks to reduce CO2 and improve global food security Pioneering research by LC3M suggests that adding fast-reacting silicate rocks to croplands could capture CO2 and give increased protection from pests and diseases while restoring soil structure and fertility. 20 February 2018 The search is on for pulling carbon from the air Scientists are investigating a range of technologies they hope can capture lots of carbon without high cost. At the AGU17 conference in San Francisco, Professor David Beerling explained an agricultural technique that could quicken weathering. 27 December 2016 | Scientific American A step up for geoengineering The clock is ticking for climate change mitigation. Geoengineering is gaining ground as an option, but it needs to be examined at a large scale to determine its effectiveness and associated risks. 30 November 2016 | Nature geoscience £10 million Leverhulme Centre for Climate Change Mitigation at University of Sheffield announced A new £10 million Centre for Climate Change Mitigation, led by the University of Sheffield, has been announced, in a bid to address one of the greatest challenges facing humanity in the twenty-first century. 2 December 2015 Pagination First page « First Previous page ‹ Previous … Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Page 5 Page 6 Page 7 Page 8 Page 9 Current page 10
