CO2 Consumption Rates in the Glacierized Himalayan Headwaters: The Importance of Sulfuric and Nitric Acid‐Mediated Chemical Weathering Reactions in Geologic Carbon Cycle

Abstract Silicate and carbonate weathering reactions consume atmospheric CO2 depending on the type of weathering agents, namely carbonic (H2CO3), sulfuric (H2SO4), and nitric acids (HNO3), and have potential climate implications. However, the importance of HNO3 in weathering processes in the Himalay...
