Rocks, Weathering, and Climate: A Geochemical Journey

Carbon Cycle Basics → Geologic Climate Archives

This path explores the fundamental role of silicate rock weathering in the carbon cycle and climate regulation. Starting with the basics of the carbon cycle and silicate minerals, it builds up to the Urey reaction, weathering kinetics, and feedback mechanisms, and finally examines how these processes are recorded in the geologic record. Designed for university students interested in climate science, it bridges petrology and geochemistry to understand Earth's long-term climate system.
