Oxidative weathering of pyrite consumes O2, generates dissolved sulfate (SO42−) and acidifies carbonates to release CO2 to the ocean-atmosphere system. Mountain belts are hotspots of chemical weatheri...

Meteoric water circulation is more prevalent along active fault zones, but its maximum depth is controlled by the fault's deformation style Variations in topography, orographic precipitation, and...

Scientists have uncovered new evidence from one of Earth’s most extreme ancient warming events, revealing how the climate may recover long after human-driven CO₂ emissions cease.

The burial of terrestrially derived organic carbon in coastal marine sediments greatly increased during the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum, probably helping to draw down a large portion of carbon r...

Advancements in modeling, proxy integration, geochronology, and clarity on the nature of Paleoproterozoic glaciations are essential to improve understanding of the Great Oxidation Event, according to ...

Two major humic lakes in the Congo Basin emit ancient carbon from nearby peatlands into the atmosphere, as shown by the isotopic signatures of their carbon pools.

Carbonate clumped isotope (∆47) thermometry is a powerful tool to reconstruct paleotemperatures. However, episodes of heating or cooling can alter ori…

Lake Mai Ndombe is supersaturated in CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$, CH4 ${\text{CH}}_{4}$, and N2O ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}\mathrm{O}$, with outgassing fluxes of 375 ± 32 Gg C yr−1, 623 ± 136 Mg C yr−1, and 223 ...

Two major humic lakes in the Congo Basin emit ancient carbon from nearby peatlands into the atmosphere, as shown by the isotopic signatures of their carbon pools.

Nature Geoscience - We revealed that carbon dioxide emissions from the Congo Basin’s largest humic lakes partially originate from millennia-old peat. This discovery identifies a pathway...

Accelerated rock weathering on farmland is seen as a promising way to sequester carbon dioxide in the long term. However, researchers at the Thünen Institute and ETH Zurich urge caution: before rock p...

Referendum on immigration limit could threaten EU agreements and cripple economy, say Swiss businesses

How and where does life originate in the universe? How can physical phenomena be measured with the highest precision? How is Switzerland handling increasing climate and weather extremes? Three new Nat...

We propose that one of the largest known bioconstructions (the Monte Zenone bioherm) in the Southern Alps, northern Italy, and its growth on a tilted and drowned platform block of the Norian Dolomia ...

Modern pyrite burial in seafloor sediments exceeds pyrite oxidation on land, indicating that the sulfur cycle is out of balance, and acts to increase atmospheric oxygen levels, according to a diagenet...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have been able to measure - for the first time - how the amount of dissolved organic carbon in the sea has changed over geological time. The results reveal that our explanati...

Abstract. Stable isotope analysis of O2 has emerged as a valuable tool to study O2 dynamics at various environmental scales, from molecular mechanisms to ecosystem processes. Despite its utility,…

The long read: Churning quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere at the rate we are going could lead the planet to another Great Dying

Der Ärger über die US-Zölle beschäftigt auch in der Schweiz lebende US-Staatsbürger. Negative Reaktionen schmerzen.

A direct proxy for past dissolved organic carbon signatures using co-precipitated organic carbon in iron ooids enables reconstruction of marine dissolved organic carbon signals dating back to the Pala...
