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 ...

Join us on an unforgettable adventure as we explore the stunning Studlagil Canyon, known as one of the world's most incredible canyons located in Eastern Iceland. This hidden gem is famous for its ...

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 ...

The geology of Washington state varies wildly from region to region, belying the great medley of events -- ancient and more recent, catastrophic and systematic-- that formed it. And in no part of the ...

Mineral carbonation in basaltic rocks represents a promising pathway for permanent carbon dioxide sequestration. This process leverages the intrinsic reactivity of basalt minerals—rich in divalent ...

John Kaszuba, the University of Wyoming’s John and Jane Wold Centennial Chair in Energy and School of Energy Resources professor of geology and geophysics, recently published an article in ...
