Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) scientists are collaborating with researchers at UT San Antonio to study how space ...

The weathering of silicate rocks plays an important role to keep the climate on Earth clement. Scientists investigated the general principles of this process. Their results could influence how we ...

Differential erosion is a simple concept with a beautiful impact. Variability in rock hardness changes how it is sculpted by water and wind. It’s a bit of a tease that geoscientists look at any ...

Adding crushed volcanic rock to cropland could play a key role in removing carbon from the air. In a field study, scientists at the University of California, Davis, and Cornell University found the ...

By analyzing just a few grains of returned samples from the Apollo missions, researchers gained important insights into the evolution of the lunar surface shaped by solar wind and micrometeoroid ...

Adding crushed volcanic rock to cropland could play a key role in removing carbon from the air. In a field study, scientists at the University of California, Davis, and Cornell University found the ...

The conditions on Earth are ideal for life. Most places on our planet are neither too hot nor too cold and offer liquid water. These and other requirements for life, however, delicately depend on the ...

Adding crushed volcanic rock to farmland can pull carbon dioxide out of the air. In a field test, scientists found that the process works even in dry climates. Adding crushed volcanic rock to cropland ...
