The contribution of plants to the biogeochemical cycle of Si and related weathering
processes was studied in an equatorial rainforest ecosystem (Congo) where the biologic …

Do glaciers enhance or inhibit chemical weathering rates relative to other environments?
The importance of glaciers in the global carbon cycle and climate change hinges on the …

Dissolved and suspended loads of the main streams on the island of Réunion have been
analysed for their major and trace element contents in order to characterise both chemical …

River particulates have been collected from twenty-three rivers from throughout the
continental USA. The rivers drain mostly large basins (basin areas range from 2.1× 103 to …

There is no doubt that the temperature at the surface of the Earth has not varied excessively
since the origin of life. Certainly the stability limits of liquid water have not been exceeded. If …

Several sedimentary, geochemical, and isotopic records indicate that the hypothesized
intensification of the Asian monsoon at about 8 Ma triggered a physical and chemical …

Viewed in their entirety, the chapters in this volume confirm earlier hypotheses 1–5 that
tectonic uplift has played a prominent role in climatic change during the Cenozoic. This …

Almost exactly ten years have elapsed since J.-M. Barnola together with French and
Russian colleagues published the first paleo-CO2 record spanning the whole last glacial …

The composition of lake and reservoir waters in Taiwan is mainly controlled by inputs from
chemical weathering and by concentration through water evaporation. Inputs from seasalt …

We assess the impact of continental‐scale processes on global denudation through the use
of spatially resolved information for both an ice‐free paleoclimate and the present climate …
