A growing number of scientists in Australia and overseas are investigating whether finely crushed basalt could reduce the need for expensive fertilisers. If successful, it could help farmers cut costs ...
A team of researchers, including scientists from the University of Leeds, has discovered a new type of basalt while drilling into the Pacific Ocean floor. The discovery of the new variety of basalt ...
Enhanced rock weathering—a nature-based carbon dioxide removal process that accelerates natural weathering—results in significantly higher first year crop yields, improved soil pH, and higher nutrient ...

An international team of researchers unearthed the previously unknown form of basalt after drilling through the Pacific ocean floor. Peridotite is composed mostly of greenish magnesium-iron-silicate ...
On the banks of the Columbia River, tall columns of rock poke out from the cliffs. “So you see all of these black rocks that are on either side of us, on either side of the river? Those are basalts.
For decades, scientists have searched for ways to keep carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) out of the atmosphere after it is produced.
Carbon mineralization is a process by which gaseous carbon dioxide reacts chemically with certain rock types and transforms into solid carbonate minerals. This natural process is an essential part of ...
In a forest filled with birch and oak trees on the Isle of Mull, off the west coast of Scotland, a startup will soon begin spreading crushed basalt rock on the ground. The goal: to run a large-scale ...
