A Geomechanical Study of the Mississippian Boone Formation [PDF]
, 2013 The Boone Formation in northwest Arkansas is a chert-limestone sequence analogous to the subsurface Mississippi Lime reservoir in parts of Oklahoma and Kansas. It has low permeability and produces via horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.

Simulation of rock salt dissolution and its impact on land subsidence [PDF]
, 2013 Extensive land subsidence can occur due to subsurface dissolution of evaporites such as halite and gypsum. This paper explores techniques to simulate the salt dissolution forming an intrastratal karst, which is embedded in a sequence of carbonates, marls,

Clay Reimagined: Phyllosilicates as Future Membrane Technologies
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Recent advancements in membrane technologies based on 2D materials have drawn attention for molecular‐scale separations owing to these materials’ tunable nanoscale interlayer properties. Phyllosilicates, natural and abundant layered clay minerals, have emerged as scalable and cost‐effective candidates.

Catastrophic ice lake collapse in Aram Chaos, Mars
, 2014 Hesperian chaotic terrains have been recognized as the source of outflow channels formed by catastrophic outflows. Four main scenarios have been proposed for the formation of chaotic terrains that involve different amounts of water and single or multiple

Scale-dependence of lithological control on topography: Bedrock channel geometry and catchment morphometry in western Scotland [PDF]
, 2010 We propose that a scale-dependent topographic signature of erodibility arises due to fluvial and glacial erosion acting on different parts of the landscape at different times.

Chemically Driven Nano‐Elastic Heterogeneities Control Fragility in Volcanic Melts
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The study elucidates how nanoscale structural heterogeneity governs the mechanical behavior of volcanic glasses across compositions from basalt to rhyolite. Using a physicochemical framework, correlation length (ξ) and microscopic free volume (Vc) are derived from vibrational and physical properties, revealing systematic trends with silica content that
