On the Rocks Presents: Carbon and Silica Cycle Coupling During Cenozoic Warm Periods
311 Block Hall 710 S. Atlantic St, DillonDr. Don Penman (Utah State University) Block Hall 311: 3:45 p.m. Our current understanding of the long-term carbon cycle holds that Earth’s climate is stabilized by a negative feedback involving the consumption of atmospheric carbon dioxide by the chemical weathering of silicate minerals. This theory posits that silicate weathering responds to climate: when atmospheric pCO2 and surface […]
