The compositional diversity of non-Vesta basaltic asteroids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We present near-infrared (0.78-2.45 {\mu}m) reflectance spectra for nine middle and outer main belt (a > 2.5 AU) basaltic asteroids. Three of these objects are spectrally distinct from all classifications in the Bus-DeMeo system and could represent spectral end members in the existing taxonomy or be representatives of a new spectral type. The remainder

The Apollo 15 coarse fines (4-10 mm) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
A new catalog of the Apollo 15 coarse fines particles is presented. Powell's macroscopic descriptions, resulting from his 1972 particle by particle binocular examination of all of the Apollo 15 4 to 10 mm fines samples, are retained.

Ecosystem-bedrock interaction changes nutrient compartmentalization during early oxidative weathering

open access: yes, 2019
Ecosystem-bedrock interactions power the biogeochemical cycles of Earth's shallow crust, supporting life, stimulating substrate transformation, and spurring evolutionary innovation.

Thermographic non-destructive evaluation for natural fiber-reinforced composite laminates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Natural fibers, including mineral and plant fibers, are increasingly used for polymer composite materials due to their low environmental impact. In this paper, thermographic non-destructive inspection techniques were used to evaluate and characterize ...

(21238) 1995 WV7: A New Basaltic Asteroid Outside the 3:1 Mean Motion Resonance [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2006
We report visible to near-infrared spectroscopy and spectrophotometry of asteroid (21238) 1995 WV7 that reveal the presence of deep absorption bands indicating a V taxonomic type with an apparently basaltic surface composition. Since this asteroid is on the other side of the 3:1 mean motion resonance from Vesta, and because the required ejection ...

Basalt models for the Mars penetrator mission: Geology of the Amboy Lava Field, California [PDF]

open access: yes
Amboy lava field (San Bernardino County, California) is a Holocene basalt flow selected as a test site for potential Mars Penetrators. A discussion is presented of (1) the general relations of basalt flow features and textures to styles of eruptions on ...

Some volcanologic aspects of Columbia River basalt volcanism relevant to the extinction controversy [PDF]

open access: yes
The Columbia River Basalt Group is the youngest and most thoroughly studied flood-basalt province known; information about it should be relevant to questions about the possible relation of flood-basalt volcanism to mass extinctions. The group has a total

Timescales of carbon turnover in soils with mixed crystalline mineralogies

open access: yes, 2017
Organic matter–mineral associations stabilize much of the carbon (C) stored globally in soils. Metastable short-range-order (SRO) minerals such as allophane and ferrihydrite provide one mechanism for long-term stabilization of organic matter in young ...

Soils of Seabee Hook, Cape Hallett, northern Victoria Land, Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The soils of the Seabee Hook area of Cape Hallett in northern Victoria Land, Antarctica, were mapped and characterized. Seabee Hook is a low-lying gravel spit of beach deposits built up by coastal currents carrying basalt material from nearby cliffs ...
