Chopped basalt fibres: A new perspective in reinforcing poly(lactic acid) to produce injection moulded engineering composites from renewable and natural resources

, 2012
This paper focuses on the reinforcing of Poly(lactic acid) with chopped basalt fibres by using silane treated and untreated basalt fibres. Composite materials with 5–10–15–20–30–40 wt% basalt fibre contents were prepared from silane sized basalt fibres

Mechanical properties tests and multiscale numerical simulations for basalt fiber reinforced concrete

Construction and Building Materials, 2019
Basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) can be regarded as a composite of cement mortar, aggregate and basalt fiber. In this paper, the influences of the basalt fiber’s length and content on the fundamental mechanical properties of concrete were ...

Interdisciplinarity in practice: three decades of Earth systems science workshops at the Aspen Global Change Institute

Earth Science, Systems and Society
Interdisciplinarity is widely believed to be necessary to further knowledge about complex systems and inform potential solutions. Yet the practice of fostering it is not well articulated, especially by those who regularly do it.

How big is the energy efficiency resource?

Environmental Research Letters, 2018
Most economic theorists assume that energy efficiency—the biggest global provider of energy services—is a limited and dwindling resource whose price- and policy-driven adoption will inevitably deplete its potential and raise its cost.

Petrogenesis of lavas from Detroit Seamount: Geochemical differences between Emperor Chain and Hawaiian volcanoes [PDF]

, 2005
The Hawaiian Ridge and Emperor Seamount Chain define a hot spot track that provides an 80 Myr record of Hawaiian magmatism. Detroit Seamount (∼76 to 81 Ma) is one of the oldest Emperor Seamounts.
