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 ...

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 ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 7, 2007 — Researchers at Harvard University and Pennsylvania State University have invented a technology, inspired by nature, to reduce the accumulation of atmospheric carbon ...

Magnesium isotope geochemistry has emerged as a pivotal tool in deciphering Earth’s surface and subsurface processes, particularly in the context of chemical weathering. By studying the subtle ...

Anisovolumetric weathering is much more common than previously thought, and variations in this process can be explained by climate and erosion. Research led by the University of Wyoming shows that ...

Brad Carr, a UW associate research scientist in geology and geophysics, uses the Geoprobe instrument to sample the subsurface in the foothills of the southern Sierra Nevada in California. Carr ...
