Hydraulic fracturing of unconventional oil/gas shales has changed the energy landscape of
the US Recovery of hydrocarbons from tight, hydraulically fractured shales is a highly …

Reactions occurring at mineral–fluid interfaces are important in all geochemical processes
and essential for the cycling of elements within the Earth. Understanding the mechanism of …

Silicate weathering as an important negative feedback can regulate the Earth's climate over
time, but much debate concerns its response strength to each climatic factor and its …

The base of Earth's critical zone (CZ) is commonly shielded from study by many meters of
overlying rock and regolith. Though deep CZ processes may seem far removed from the …

Concentration–discharge relationships have been widely used as clues to the
hydrochemical processes that control runoff chemistry. Here we examine concentration …

Saturn's moon Enceladus has a potentially habitable subsurface water ocean that contains
canonical building blocks of life (organic and inorganic carbon, ammonia, possibly hydrogen …

In this review, we discuss the recent advances in understanding ye'elimite-rich cements.
These cements can be classified as follows:(1) Low belite ones namely called calcium …

Rock weathering is a key process in global elemental cycling. Life participates in this
process with tangible consequences observed from the mineral interface to the planetary …

Systems at the surface of the Earth are continually responding to energy inputs derived
ultimately from radiation from the Sun or from the radiogenic heat in the interior. These …

Mineral dissolution rates control the temporal evolution of many natural processes on the
surface and upper crust of the Earth. This is the first of a series of papers describing the …
