Explores the behavior of carbon in minerals, melts, and fluids under extreme conditions
Carbon trapped in diamonds and carbonate-bearing rocks in subduction zones are examples of the continuing exchange of substantial carbon ...

Wavelet-based verification of a relative paleointensity record from the North Pacific
We present a relative paleointensity (RPI) record for the last ~ 1.1 Myr estimated from a sediment core in the central North Pacific, with quality verification using wavelet analysis.

Reduction of Sb(V) by coupled biotic-abiotic processes under sulfidogenic conditions
Increasing use and mining of antimony (Sb) has resulted in greater concern involving its fate and transport in the environment. Antimony(V) and (III) are the two most environmentally relevant oxidation states, but little is known about the redox ...

Biogenic Magnetite Formation through Anaerobic Biooxidation of Fe(II) [PDF]
ABSTRACT The presence of isotopically light carbonates in association with fine-grained magnetite is considered to be primarily due to the reduction of Fe(III) by Fe(III)-reducing bacteria in the environment. Here, we report on magnetite formation by biooxidation of Fe(II) coupled to denitrification.

Interactions between magnetite and humic substances: redox reactions and dissolution processes
Humic substances (HS) are redox-active compounds that are ubiquitous in the environment and can serve as electron shuttles during microbial Fe(III) reduction thus reducing a variety of Fe(III) minerals.

Red clays indicate sub-aerial exposure of the Rio Grande Rise during the Eocene volcanic episode
Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) mapping of the western Rio Grande Rise (RGR), South Atlantic, and subsequent exploration and photography of horizontal lava flows exposed in near vertical, faulted escarpments, showed occurrences of red clays/weathered

ELECTRON MICROSCOPY OF ANIONIC SURFACTANT-DIRECTED SYNTHESIS OF MAGNETITE NANOPARTICLES [PDF]
We have synthesized a variety of magnetite nanoparticles which appear to have biogenic signatures and could give insights into how the nanomagnetite particles form in biological systems, and how they are associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

Low-temperature magnetic properties of magnetite
Although several studies have recommended removal of secondary components of magnetic remanence by zero-field cycling from room temperature to a temperature much lower than the low temperature transition for magnetite (about 120 K), the method has not ...

Constraining the magnetic properties of ultrafine- and fine-grained biogenic magnetite
Four samples containing ultrafine- and fine-grained magnetite of magnetoferritins and magnetotactic bacteria cells were magnetically characterized at both room and low temperatures.
