Iron in the ground has quietly been doing climate work for centuries, binding carbon in soils so effectively that it can stay there for generations. New research is now unpacking how these minerals ...

Mineral carbonation in basaltic rocks represents a promising pathway for permanent carbon dioxide sequestration. This process leverages the intrinsic reactivity of basalt minerals—rich in divalent ...

A team of researchers from the CSIC-INTA Astrobiology Centre in Madrid has confirmed that the type of mineralogical composition on the surface of Mars influences the measuring of its temperature. The ...

How can astronomers determine if an exoplanet has water based on Earth’s geological composition? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as a team of researchers led ...
