High rates of rock organic carbon oxidation sustained as Andean sediment transits the Amazon foreland-floodplain
(2023)
Journal Article
The oxidation of organic carbon contained within sedimentary rocks (“petrogenic” carbon, or hereafter OCpetro) emits nearly as much CO2 as is released by volcanism, thereby playing a key role in the long-term global C budget. High erosion rates in mo... Read More about High rates of rock organic carbon oxidation sustained as Andean sediment transits the Amazon foreland-floodplain.
