Hi, your name appeared also under the Ocean/Atmosphere keywords. Only physics? I'm in ocean geochemistry, but also working on marine Carbon Dioxide Removal, if that counts as (geo)engineering 😉 If yes, happy to be added to the list

Exactly. Global fluxes are not quantified (yet) or based on a very small data set.

Without wanting to brag, but I showed the direct correlation between 'natural' enhanced mineral addition (flood event), dissolution and clay precipitation in this 'natural' analogue at the Peruvian coast:

This study identifies the rapidness of marine mineral reactions, directly after an extreme rainfall event. The reactions have the potential to affect marine cation and CO2 cycling, impacting element t...

Yes, that's exactly my point and what I'm trying to stress (warn...) in all my OAE talks. RW occurs naturally in marine sediments and can be triggered by mineral dissolution.

Next to Si, aluminum availability, pH, reactive surfaces are crucial.
