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 …

The rates of mineral dissolution contribute to processes controlling soil fertility, porosity in
aquifers and oil reservoirs, transport and sequestration of contaminants and CO 2, cycling of …

Aqueous fluids produced by dehydration of the downgoing slab facilitate chemical exchange
in subduction zones, but the efficiency of fluid-mediated redox transfer as a mechanism to …

Despite large ranges in rates of erosion and regolith production globally, much continental
surface is regolith-mantled. This implies either that erosion rate is low relative to regolith …

Minerals are the building blocks of clastic sediments and play an important role with respect
to the physico-chemical properties of the sediment and the lithostratigraphy of sediments …

The present study provides insights into the origin of siderite cementation in closely
interbedded bipartite mudstone to sandstone Pennsylvanian strata from the Anadarko Basin …

Weathering is a fundamental process that controls the development of Earth's surface by the
formation of erodible material and the release of mineral-bound nutrients. Weathering at …

Subsurface fluid pathways and the climate-dependent infiltration of fluids into the subsurface
jointly control the intensity and depth of mineral weathering reactions. The products of these …

Convergent plate volcanism typically occurs close to the oceans, hence a high proportion of
fresh, highly reactive, volcanogenic material is rapidly deposited onto the seafloor. Previous …

Over the last several billion years, rocks formed at equilibrium within the mantle of the Earth
have been exposed at the surface and have reacted to move towards a new equilibrium with …
