Paper authored by a 100% UNC Charlotte team shows new links between global warming and rock cracking

Wetter and warmer climates accelerate mechanical rock weathering, according to new research. Findings by Eppes et al. reveal new links between climate and the breakdown of rocks, which affects the global carbon cycle—the movement of carbon between the oceans, atmosphere, and crust over geologic timescales.
