Basalt weathering laws and the impact of basalt weathering on the global carbon cycle
TLDR
In this paper, the chemical weathering of basalts and the flux of carbon transferred from the atmosphere to the ocean during this major process at the surface of the Earth were investigated.About:

The technological and economic prospects for CO2 utilization and removal
Cameron Hepburn,Ella K. Adlen,John Beddington,Emily A. Carter,Emily A. Carter,Sabine Fuss,Niall Mac Dowell,Jan C. Minx,Pete Smith,Charlotte K. Williams +9 more
TL;DR: The capture and use of carbon dioxide to create valuable products might lower the net costs of reducing emissions or removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but barriers to implementation remain substantial and resource constraints prevent the simultaneous deployment of all pathways.

A review of mineral carbonation technologies to sequester CO2
TL;DR: This work investigates the current advancement in the proposed MC technologies and the role they can play in decreasing the overall cost of this CO2 sequestration route and finds the value of the products seems central to render MC economically viable in the same way as conventional CCS seems profitable only when combined with EOR.

Chemical composition of suspended sediments in World Rivers: New insights from a new database
TL;DR: A new database on the chemical composition of suspended matter in World Rivers, together with the associated elemental fluxes is presented, showing that riverine fluxes are similar to anthropogenic fluxes, which casts light on the effect of human activities on the cycles of trace elements at the Earth's surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mineral Carbonation of CO2
TL;DR: CarbFix as discussed by the authors injects CO2 into permeable basaltic rocks in an attempt to form carbonate minerals directly through a coupled dissolution-precipitation process.

Permanent storage of carbon dioxide in geological reservoirs by mineral carbonation
Jürg M. Matter,Peter B. Kelemen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the rate of carbonate mineral formation is much higher in host rocks that are rich in magnesium- and calcium-bearing minerals, such as basalts and magnesium-rich mantle rocks that have been emplaced on the continents.

Rates of chemical denudation of silicate rocks in tropical catchments
TL;DR: The first set of reported values that correctly measure the rate of chemical denudation in the tropics were reported in this article. But they were only true denudations components, rather than biogenic and atmospheric inputs.

Chronology of the peralkaline, late Cenozoic Mount Edziza volcanic complex, northern British Columbia, Canada
TL;DR: The late Cenozoic Mount Edziza Volcanic Complex covers an area of about 1,000 km 2 in north-central British Columbia, 300 km east of the transcurrent boundary between the North American and Pacific plates.

Modelling of atmospheric pollution by explosions
TL;DR: A mathematical model of air pollution by gaseous and particulate substances caused by near-ground explosions is developed in this paper, which describes the evolution of a hot cloud of explosion products and the transport of the contaminants by upward convective flows.
