Hi The proposal for olivine weathering on beaches seems to pass a common sense test.
However, there's been a lack of detailed discussion about the occurrence and function of natural olivine beaches, as far as I'm aware. There are a lot of beaches in the world. Olivine is pretty common. How much of a sink is natural beach chemical and mechanical weathering of olivine? It should be easy to find at least one location where there's massive quantities of olivine sand, and take detailed measurements on the carbon sink. I know there's at least one such beach in the literature, but I can't recall discussions of others, nor detailed quantitative research on erosion and sequestration rates at this site Can someone enlighten me as to why this has seemingly been overlooked for detailed study?
