@blueicehiggins Relating high weathering rates measured via cation loss in field to measurement of cation + alkalinity concs in watershed (which should go up a lot!) is a piece of the puzzle that’s missing, and not satisfying without. Tracing sec. processes downstream/ocean is a sleepless night!
Check out our latest paper in ES&T. We take a granular approach to quantify the secondary processes that impact carbon removal downstream of an enhanced rock weathering site. Measuring cation loss from feedstocks on the field isn't enough!

This work was made a lot of fun by collaborating with a group of excellent people. Travelling to @SUERC1 to perform radiocarbon analyses was a great highlight! Thanks all.
@dpcarrington Study relating to this article suggests 14kg of CO2 is removed per 1000 kg of glacial flour applied per hectare, not including emissions from transport and spreading. This is a negligible sink of CO2… perhaps even a source of CO2 once fully audited?

Just 🚨 one more day 🚨 to submit an abstract to session 9G, exploring the importance of timescales in carbon cycling - shaping up to be a great session!
Carbon; it's about time!
The carbon cycle operates over a range of timescales, from slow tectonic uplift, to rapid strong acid reactions. If you're interested in what makes the carbon cycle tick, submit an abstract to session 9G @goldschmidt2023!

Good to be at the @UKERW_GGRD Annual Meeting today discussing the latest outputs from our #ERW#FieldTrials. Here Ros Rickaby from @OxUniEarthSci discusses the potential fate of carbon transported as alkalinity in rivers (using the recent paper by @WillKnapp18 & @UCam_RiverWATCH)
Riverwatch gets salty with a day at the beach! Collecting seawater for masters student Tian’s project, trying to understand the fate of riverine DIC in estuarine environments #35PSU
New research led by Christina Larkin @cslarkin1, with Alex Piotrowski & @UCam_RiverWATCH🎇

A fun afternoon coring through travertines formed rapidly following carbonation of waste material from the steel industry to think about how to reduce CO2 emissions from industry with @WillKnapp18
…why we campaign to save our rivers…
This is what an unpolluted river looks like: River Ribnik, Bosnia
No intensive agri
No sewage discharges
Treasured & nurtured
Highly protected
This is what the #riverwye looked like before @AvaraFoods@thenoblefoods@Tesco came along
