There has been considerable controversy concerning the role of chemical weathering in the
regulation of the atmospheric partial pressure of carbon dioxide, and thus the strength of the …

Carbon mineralization sequesters CO2 by reaction of alkaline earth metal bearing silicate
and hydroxide minerals with CO2 to form stable carbonate minerals. Seifritz (1990) …

Silicate weathering as an important negative feedback can regulate the Earth's climate over
time, but much debate concerns its response strength to each climatic factor and its …

Earth's climate may be stabilized over millennia by solubilization of atmospheric carbon
dioxide (CO2) as minerals weather, but the temperature sensitivity of this thermostat is …

The main problem associated with the study of silicate weathering using river dissolved load
is that the main control of solute chemistry is lithology and that all rivers are influenced by …

For the past 3.8 billion years, the geochemistry of the Earth's surface-its atmosphere, waters
and exposed crust-has been determined by the presence of biota. Photosynthetic organisms …

An Introduction to Organic Geochemistry explores the fate of organic matter of all types,
biogenic and man-made, in the Earth System. investigates the variety of pathways and …
