A theoretical model coupling chemical weathering rates with denudation rates

EJ Gabet, SM Mudd - Geology, 2009 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Uplift of the Himalayas has been proposed to have locally accelerated chemical weathering,
thus leading to enhanced CO2 sequestration and global cooling. This hypothesis assumes …

A theoretical model coupling chemical weathering and physical erosion in landslide-dominated landscapes

EJ Gabet - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2007 - Elsevier
A current theory that links the uplift of the Himalayas to the drawdown of atmospheric CO2
assumes that rates of chemical weathering are enhanced by accelerated physical erosion …

Thickness of the chemical weathering zone and implications for erosional and climatic drivers of weathering and for carbon-cycle feedbacks

AJ West - Geology, 2012 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Quantitative understanding of variability in weathering fluxes on the modern Earth is limited
because little is known about where the most important weathering reactions take place …

Weathering profiles, mass-balance analysis, and rates of solute loss: Linkages between weathering and erosion in a small, steep catchment

SP Anderson, WE Dietrich… - Geological Society of …, 2002 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
In a headwater catchment in the Oregon Coast Range, we find that solid-phase mass losses
due to chemical weathering are equivalent in the bedrock and the soil. However, the long …

Testing for supply‐limited and kinetic‐limited chemical erosion in field measurements of regolith production and chemical depletion

KL Ferrier, CS Riebe… - Geochemistry, Geophysics …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Chemical erosion contributes solutes to oceans, influencing atmospheric CO2 and thus
global climate via the greenhouse effect. Quantifying how chemical erosion rates vary with …

A reactive diffusion model describing transformation of bedrock to saprolite

MI Lebedeva, RC Fletcher, VN Balashov, SL Brantley - Chemical Geology, 2007 - Elsevier
Despite large ranges in rates of erosion and regolith production globally, much continental
surface is regolith-mantled. This implies either that erosion rate is low relative to regolith …

Spatial variations in chemical weathering and CO2 consumption in Nepalese High Himalayan catchments during the monsoon season

D Wolff-Boenisch, EJ Gabet, DW Burbank… - … et Cosmochimica Acta, 2009 - Elsevier
The major ion chemistry of the Marsyandi basin and six of its tributaries in the Nepalese
Himalaya have been investigated during the monsoon months of 2002. Weekly water …

Effects of physical erosion on chemical denudation rates: A numerical modeling study of soil-mantled hillslopes

KL Ferrier, JW Kirchner - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2008 - Elsevier
Many biogeochemical and Earth surface processes depend critically on chemical
weathering. The immediate products of chemical weathering are present as solutes and …

Tectonic and climatic controls on silicate weathering

AJ West, A Galy, M Bickle - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2005 - Elsevier
Understanding the controls on chemical weathering, especially of silicate minerals, remains
a major challenge, despite its importance in controlling the evolution of the Earth's surface …

Global chemical erosion during the Cenozoic: Weatherability balances the budgets

LR Kump, MA Arthur - Tectonic uplift and climate change, 1997 - Springer
The question addressed here is whether global chemical weathering and erosion rates have
increased over Cenozoic time in response to uplift of the Himalayas. 1–2 Chemical …
