Over millions of years, the oxidation of organic carbon contained within sedimentary rocks is one of the main sources of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, yet the controls on this emission remain poorly constrained. We use rhenium to track the oxidat... Read More about Mountain glaciation drives rapid oxidation of rock-bound organic carbon.
