Seafloor Weathering and Stochastic Outgassing Unlikely to Significantly Shorten the Future Lifespan of Earth's Terrestrial Biosphere

Livia Zhu, R. J. Graham, Dorian S. Abbot

Current understanding suggests that as the Sun brightens in the far future, Earth's carbonate-silicate cycle will offset increasing temperatures by drawing CO out of the atmosp…

The Role of Tectonic Luck in Long-Term Habitability of Abiotic Earth-like Planets

Brandon Park Coy, Edwin S. Kite, R. J. Graham

Carbonate-silicate weathering feedback is thought to stabilize Earth's climate on geologic timescales. If climate warms, faster mineral dissolution and increased rainfall speed up…

Substantial extension of the lifetime of the terrestrial biosphere

R. J. Graham, Itay Halevy, Dorian Abbot

Approximately one billion years (Gyr) in the future, as the Sun brightens, Earth's carbonate-silicate cycle is expected to drive CO below the minimum level required by vascular…

Resilience of Snowball Earth to Stochastic Events

Guillaume Chaverot, Andrea Zorzi, Xuesong Ding +6

Earth went through at least two periods of global glaciation (i.e., ``Snowball Earth'' states) during the Neoproterozoic, the shortest of which (the Marinoan) may not have lasted s…

Carbon cycle instability for high- exoplanets: Implications for habitability

R. J. Graham, R. T. Pierrehumbert

Implicit in the definition of the classical circumstellar habitable zone (HZ) is the hypothesis that the carbonate-silicate cycle can maintain clement climates on exoplanets with l…

High pCO reduces sensitivity to CO perturbations on temperate, Earth-like planets throughout most of habitable zone

R. J. Graham

The nearly logarithmic radiative impact of CO means that planets near the outer edge of the liquid water habitable zone (HZ) require 10x more CO to maintain tempe…
