[en] The potential role of silicate weathering changes for explaining glacial-interglacial variations of CO2 in the atmosphere is discussed. Various methods for reconstructing the evolution of silicate weathering rates on glacial-interglacial time scales are presented. An extensive list of key references and reading materials is provided.
