A medieval sycamore tree which stood in a dramatic dip in Hadrian's Wall appears to have been felled overnight, the national park said bbc.in/3RDMV10

Sycamore Gap tree at Hadrian's Wall cut down by 'vandals'

Police are investigating if the much-loved landmark was deliberately cut down by vandals.

Herriot-Watt University’s Mohammad Madankan talks logistics around #ERW. “We need to maximise the CDR while minimising the cost and socioeconomic impact. We do this through scenarios that optimise quarry partnerships with local agricultural land.” #ERW23 #ClimateInnovation

Enhanced rock weather is a promising CDR pathway that can provide agricultural cobenefits (soil pH management, nutrients, N2O mitigation). But as an open system it has sizable MRV challenges. A new tool by @carbonplanorg explores needed measurements: carbonplan.org/research/ew-q…

Our #DACCS roadmap to 2050 is now in @RSC_Energy #EESJournal This is a decisive decade for #DAC! If you want to learn about the actions needed for scalable, safe and low-cost implementation, have a look at our paper here: tinyurl.com/ycxj5x9r @RMI_Industries @HWU_RCCS
DACCS roadmap to gigaton scale by 2050. We list all priority initiatives across 5 main areas: (i) materials, (ii) process design, (iii) equipment, (iv) system integration, and (v) infrastructure. Expected investment costs, main actors across industry, academia and government, respectively, and critical activities in a short, medium and long term are assigned for every priority initiative.

Check out our latest paper in ES&T. We take a granular approach to quantify the secondary processes that impact carbon removal downstream of an enhanced rock weathering site. Measuring cation loss from feedstocks on the field isn't enough! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
