He's holding pieces of basalt. It's a hard volcanic rock that is neither rare nor particularly remarkable. But through a process known as 'enhanced rock weathering' it could help to cool our ...
We are capturing the effects of crops on basalt weathering through analysis of leachate from each plot, which is automatically collected by tile drains at a single location, and its feedback on crop ...
basalt has been shown in trials to improve both crop yields and the quality of grazing for farmers. Instead of capturing carbon over millennia, it takes a naturally occurring weathering process ...
Special interests include: The role of iron and sulfur cycling to soil organic carbon storage and carbon capture through enhanced rock weathering. Use of bacteria and their products for ...
