Global Carbonate Weathering Rates and Carbon Sink Flux Data

A database of carbonate weathering rates compiled for a study on global carbon sinks. The dataset includes machine learning code for modeling rates and fluxes. It was authored by Weihua Tang and last updated on April 18, 2026.

Use Cases

• Model global carbonate weathering rates based on compiled field data.
• Predict carbon sink flux from weathering using the provided machine learning code.
• Analyze environmental controls on carbonate weathering mentioned in the study.
• Validate geochemical models with synthesized global weathering rate data.

Strengths

• Includes both tabular data and executable machine learning code in Python.
• Released under a CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for open reuse and modification.
• Data size is 1.8 MB, facilitating quick download and inspection.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
