The cycle of organic carbon through the atmosphere, oceans, continents and mantle
reservoirs is a hallmark of Earth. Over geological time, chemical exchanges between those …

The quantification of mechanical properties of organic matter in shale is of significance for
the fine prediction and characterization of shale reservoir's mechanical properties. Due to …

New Zealand is a rifted continental fragment of the Gondwana Cretaceous subduction
margin that is composed of multiple tectonostratigraphic terranes. An outstanding issue is …

The transformation of kerogen to hydrocarbons in the early stages of oil generation is critical
for understanding the resource potential of liquid-rich shale plays. Organic petrology …

The phase relationships in altered mafic oceanic crust (K2O, CO2 and H2O bearing) have
been investigated to constrain and quantify the processes of carbon transfer from the slab to …

Reconstructing the original biogeochemistry of organic microfossils requires quantifying the
extent of the chemical transformations they experienced during burial and maturation …

Hadal trenches are unique geological and ecological systems located along subduction
zones. Earthquake-triggered turbidites act as efficient transport pathways of organic carbon …

Iron-rich duricrusts (canga) that blanket iron ore deposits in tropical regions in Brazil have a
complex formation and evolution. The direct role of microorganisms in the biogeochemical …

Abstract The copper-nickel (-platinum-group element) sulfide resources of the Duluth
Complex, Minnesota, USA, formed by assimilation of sulfur from the Virginia Formation black …

The FC Formation of the Francevillian of Gabon displays the oldest Gunflint-type
assemblage of microfossils that is hosted in shallow-water stromatolites. The FC Formation …
