The Critical Zone encompasses the near‐surface environment where rock, soil, water, air and biota interact in a dynamic equilibrium that drives essential geochemical cycles. Research in this area ...
Sandstone landscapes, with their intricate forms and textures, offer an excellent window into the processes that shape our planet’s surface. The evolution of these formations is governed by a ...
Freeze-thaw weathering occurs when rocks are porous (contain holes) or permeable (allow water to pass through). Water enters cracks in the rock. When temperatures drop, the water freezes and expands ...
Research led by the University of Wyoming shows that physical weathering is far more important than previously recognized in the breakdown of rock in mountain landscapes. Because it is difficult to ...
The last ice age in the UK took place around 18,000 years ago. During this time, temperatures remained low throughout the year and ice sheets and glaciers covered the north of the UK and other parts ...
Reverse weathering is one of the ocean's most important yet least understood geochemical processes. During this natural process, dissolved minerals and chemicals combine to form new clay minerals in ...
