In a recent paper published in Communications Earth & Environment, researchers explored geologic carbon dioxide (CO 2) mineralization in basalt formations, focusing on how complex carbonate phases ...

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.

In November, the Paris Climate Agreement goes into effect to reduce global carbon emissions. To achieve the set targets, experts say capturing and storing carbon must be part of the solution. Several ...

U.S. scientists concerned about carbon dioxide (CO 2) leaks from sequestration attempts have been pursuing the option of natural chemical reactions within the earth to turn the carbon back into a ...

A new type of rock created during large and exceptionally hot volcanic eruptions has been discovered beneath the Pacific Ocean. A new type of rock created during large and exceptionally hot volcanic ...

We seriously need to do something about CO2 emissions. Besides shifting to renewable energy sources and increasing energy efficiency, we need to start putting some of the CO2 away before it reaches ...

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 ...

After drilling a well in the Columbia River Basalt formation and testing its properties, the team injected CO2 into it in 2013. Core samples were extracted from the well two years later, and Pete ...
