For a century, we’ve essentially been running an Enhanced Weathering field trial. In our Nature paper out yesterday, we show that agricultural liming in the Mississippi River Basin acted as a net CO₂ sink—while offering a rare century-scale analogue for EW. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Enhanced weathering publications are growing exponentially. Based on our just-updated literature list (doi.org/10.5281/zeno...), for peer-reviewed terrestrial EW papers, the estimated doubling time is ~2.8 years (R² = 0.92). Outside formal peer review, growth is even faster: ~1.3 years (R² = 0.88).

What if carbon removal could help clean PFAS-contaminated soils—and help pay for it? Our new paper explores a potential win-win-win: enhanced weathering can boost plant PFAS uptake, while pyrolysis destroys PFAS and stores carbon as biochar. paper: doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Want to learn more about enhanced weathering? Based on a novel data synthesis effort, the preprint compiles evidence on geochemistry, MRV, CDR fluxes & potentials, costs, LCA, side effects, governance, policy and deployment readiness. Two key figures below. Link: doi.org/10.70212/cdr...

Is agricultural liming a CO₂ sink or source? In our preprint, we argue that the key is the counterfactual: CO₂ emissions are driven mainly by acidity inputs, not lime itself. In the Mississippi Basin, liming reduced CO₂ emissions and increased alkalinity export. Preprint: doi.org/10.21203/rs....

What works in the ocean may not work in soils. Our new paper shows that total alkalinity titrations—robust in seawater—can be misleading in soils due to organic alkalinity. We argue that charge-balance & cation-based accounting may be more robust for terrestrial CDR. doi.org/10.5194/bg-2...

Reviews and syntheses: Carbon vs. cation based MRV of Enhanced Rock Weathering and the issue of soil organic carbon
Abstract. We discuss the “monitoring, reporting and verification” (MRV) strategy of Enhanced Weathering (EW) based on carbon accounting and argue that in open systems such as arable land, this approac...

Enhanced Weathering publication numbers keep rising exponentially, with especially strong growth in preprints and other non-peer-reviewed outputs — a clear sign of momentum in the field. 📚 Citable EW bibliography: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... ➕ Submit missing studies: tinyurl.com/ERWmorelit
Stacked bar chart showing annual counts of Enhanced Weathering publications by sub-discipline. Total output increases strongly over time, reaching 169 publications in 2025, including 85 peer-reviewed terrestrial EW studies and 71 non-peer-reviewed terrestrial EW outputs. Recent years also show contributions from related areas such as rock flour use as fertilizer, mine tailings and waste streams, reactor-based EW approaches, and patents, highlighting both rapid growth and diversification of the field.

More is better 🌍—at least for monitoring enhanced weathering. Our new preprint shows that larger catchments & aggregated soil data cut noise, lower costs, and prevent over-crediting. Crediting must move beyond single fields. See link below.

Agricultural liming in the US is a large CO₂ sink, say researchers
Adding lime to agricultural soils can remove CO2 from the atmosphere, rather than cause CO2 emissions, claims new research.

Our new paper shows that soil cation exchange can delay CO₂ removal from enhanced weathering by years to decades. Lag varies by soil, climate, and land use—longest in high-CEC regions like the Corn Belt. Big implications for MRV, credit timing, and deployment strategy. Timing matters! 🪨🌾 Link below.

Loads of new followers recently, so want introduce myself again. I investigate the potentials and limitations of using natural processes (like the weathering of rocks) to remove more CO2 from the atmosphere, and how we can quantify how well that actually works. That is also what I post about 🙃
