Continental flood basalt weathering as a trigger for Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth

Atmospheric CO2 levels and global climate are regulated on geological timescales by the silicate weathering feedback. However, this thermostat has failed multiple times in Earth's history, most spectacularly during the Cryogenian (c. 720–635 Ma) Snowball Earth episodes. The unique middle Neopro...
