    “ • When humans pump groundwater, it has a substantial impact on the tilt of Earth’s rotation.
    • Additionally, a study document [link above] just how much of an influence groundwater pumping has on climate change.
    • Understanding this relatively recent data may provide a better understanding of how to help stave off sea-level rise…"

  2. New work by @bach_lennart

    The experiments show that anthropogenic #alkalinity can strongly reduce the generation of natural alkalinity, thereby reducing additionality. This is because the #anthropogenic alkalinity increases the calcium carbonate saturation state, which reduces the dissolution of calcium #carbonate from sand, a natural alkalinity source.
