Carbonate-Silicate Cycle Predictions of Earth-like Planetary Climates and Testing the Habitable Zone Concept

Owen R. Lehmer, David C. Catling, Joshua Krissansen-Totton

In the conventional habitable zone (HZ) concept, a CO${}_2$-H${}_2$O greenhouse maintains surface liquid water. Through the water-mediated carbonate-silicate weathering cycle, atmosp…
