Slow Carbon - The Rock Carbon Cycle

Today, Jesse and Chris tackle the topic of the Slow Carbon Cycle.  We've been talking about this for a while now.  This is a very complicate cycle that involves many variables.  In this episode, we work through some scenarios such as the Himalayan uplift and plug them into the Carbon Cycle.  It's a little bit of mental gymnastics.  The ingredients for the Carbon Cycle to operate are freshly exposed rock, water (both in the oceans and the atmosphere), and plate tectonics.  If one of these variables is taken out, the Carbon Cycle ceases.  Join us in this fun and interesting discussion.Download the CampGeo app now at this link.
