Determining what controls the geological carbon cycle is crucial for understanding climate stability, planetary habitability and the long-term consequences of anthropogenic carbon emissions. On long ...
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 ...
Figure 1: Time evolution of the isotopic composition of seawater, atmospheric CO 2 levels and the organic carbon burial over the late Palaeozoic. In this paper, we quantify the contribution of the ...
