Global Carbonate Research Group

The Global Carbonate Research Group studies how carbonate rocks, like limestone and calcium carbonate, influence Earth's carbon cycle and climate. They examine how these rocks form, transform, and interact with carbon dioxide over geological time. Their work helps us understand how natural processes affect atmospheric CO₂ levels and climate change, and provides insights into how carbonate formations can be used for carbon storage or mining. By integrating geology, chemistry, and climate science, they contribute to sustainable solutions for managing carbon emissions and understanding Earth's environmental history.
