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.
But basalt has one virtue that other geologic formations lack. In the laboratory, it can transform CO2 into calcium carbonate – the equivalent of seashells or limestone – in a matter of weeks or ...
About 56 million years ago, Europe and North America began pulling apart to form what became the ever-expanding North Atlantic Ocean. Vast amounts of molten rock from Earth's mantle reached the ocean ...
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 ...
