Reduction–oxidation (redox) reactions occur during burial because sediments contain
reactive mixtures of oxidised and reduced components. Diagenetic chemical reactions …

The iron sulfides constitute a diverse group of solids and dissolved complexes many of
which play key roles in marine systems. The group is particularly complex in the lower …

Laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) analyses of
1,407 sedimentary (diagenetic and syngenetic) pyrites from 45 carbonaceous shale and …

Acid sulfate soils (ASS) contain substantial quantities of iron sulfide minerals or the oxidation
reaction products of these sulfidic minerals. Transformation of iron (Fe) and sulfur (S) …

Introduction to Geomicrobiology is a timely and comprehensive overview of how microbial
life has affected Earth's environment through time. It shows how the ubiquity of …

For more than a decade I have taught a graduate-level course in marine sediment
geochemistry that covers many of the topics discussed in this book. The goal now is to …

The sequestration of sulfur within sedimentary pyrite is a major sink in the global
biogeochemical sulfur cycle and has consequent impacts on the related cycles of carbon …

Abundant, micrometer-scale, spherical aggregates of 2-to 5-nanometer-diameter sphalerite
(ZnS) particles formed within natural biofilms dominated by relatively aerotolerant sulfate …

Greigite (Fe3S4) is an authigenic ferrimagnetic mineral that grows as a precursor to pyrite
during early diagenetic sedimentary sulfate reduction. It can also grow at any time when …

In this paper, recent research progress regarding carbon steel corrosion products and their
effects on the subsequent corrosion process in H 2 S environments is reviewed. The …
