Porosity plays a clearly important role in geology. It controls fluid storage in aquifers, oil and
gas fields and geothermal systems, and the extent and connectivity of the pore structure …

Quartz (trigonal, low-temperature α-quartz) is the most important polymorph of the silica
(SiO2) group and one of the purest minerals in the Earth crust. The mineralogy and mineral …

The nine editions of Stable Isotope Geochemistry have appeared over a time span of nearly
50 years. The first edition (1973) appeared as a slim book of 135 pages. Due to the rapid …

The porosity and permeability of sandstone and carbonate reservoirs (known as reservoir
quality) are essential inputs for successful oil and gas resource exploration and exploitation …

We have developed highly precise and accurate in situ SIMS stable isotope analytical
protocols using the IMS-1280 at the University of Wisconsin, through careful tuning of the …

Observations and hydrothermal experiments were used to derive new information about
how clay grain coats inhibit quartz cement and preserve porosity in deeply buried …

The timing and mechanism of ore precipitation in porphyry copper systems are hot topics
and remain controversial. The large Miocene collision-related Zhunuo porphyry Cu deposit …

High precision and accuracy with in situ analysis has been a “holy grail” for generations of
stable isotope geochemists who employed a range of strategies for separation of …

Sandstones form the backdrop to some of the world's most spectacular scenery, and are
found all over the planet and in all climates. Following on from the authors' successful 1992 …

Analysis of oxygen isotope ratios (δ18O) by ion microprobe resolves a sub-annual climate
record for the Eastern Mediterranean from a Soreq Cave stalagmite that grew between 2.2 …
