Neogene cooling driven by land surface reactivity rather than increased weathering fluxes

JK Caves Rugenstein, DE Ibarra, F von Blanckenburg - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
The long-term cooling, decline in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide, and the
establishment of permanent polar ice sheets during the Neogene period, have frequently …

Deep abiotic weathering of pyrite

X Gu, PJ Heaney, FDAA Reis, SL Brantley - Science, 2020 - science.org
INTRODUCTION Oxidative weathering of pyrite, the most abundant sulfide mineral in Earth's
crust, is coupled to the biogeochemical cycles of sulfur, oxygen, carbon, and iron. Pyrite …

Co-variation of silicate, carbonate and sulfide weathering drives CO2 release with erosion
