YCNCC Enhanced Weathering Researchers Present at Goldschmidt 2025 Conference

Researchers from the Yale Center for Natural Carbon Capture (YCNCC) recently shared their latest work on enhanced weathering at the Goldschmidt 2025 Conference, organized by the European Association of Geochemistry.
Boriana Kalderon-Asael presented a poster titled “Does Cation Loading Prompt Clay Formation in Watersheds?” which explored the role of cation dynamics in shaping watershed clay formation.
Chloe Kent gave another successful poster presentation, “Harnessing Cannabis sativa (Hemp) for Phytoremediation and Phytomining in Agricultural Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) Systems,” which proposed novel bio-based strategies for environmental remediation and durable carbon dioxide removal (CDR).
Additionally, Isabella Chiaravalloti delivered an insightful talk titled “Influence of Enhanced Weathering and Copper on Nitrous Oxide Emissions,“ offering valuable perspectives on the intersection of geochemistry, greenhouse gas fluxes, and soil amendment practices.
We’re closing out our coverage from this week at the European Association of Geochemistry’s Goldschmidt 2025 conference with a spotlight on YCNCC postdoctoral fellow Tim Jesper-Surhoff, who delivered an excellent talk titled “Agricultural liming in the US is a large CO2 sink, say researchers.” Jesper’s research highlights the potential for scale at low cost of novel application frameworks for agricultural lime to drive durable CDR through enhanced weathering.
