Impact-generated hydrothermal circulation and metasomatism of the rochechouart astrobleme: mineralogy and major and trace element distribution [PDF]
The energy released during a hypervelocity impact on Earth can generate high temperatures in the target rock. There are currently 170 known impact structures worldwide, of which over one-third contain fossil hydrothermal systems [1].

Energy related studies utilizing K-feldspar thermochronology [PDF]
Two distinct sources of information are available from a [sup 40]Ar/[sup 39]Ar step-heating experiment: the age spectrum and Arrhenius plot. Model ages are calculated from the flux of radiogenic argon ([sup 40]Ar*) (assuming trapped argon of atmospheric composition) relative to the reactor produced [sup 39]Ar evolved during discrete laboratory heating ...

This study examines energy evolution in rock rupture via triaxial direct shear tests, exploring the impact of confining pressure and temperature on fracture surface randomness. A novel energy‐based brittleness index is proposed, validated experimentally, and compared with existing methods for reliability and accuracy.

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Advance in alkaline dissolution of sandstone
Alkaline authigenic minerals such as chlorite, laumontite, albite, and illite formed by alkaline dissolution of volcanic materials and feldspar are the focus of sandstone reservoir research, but alkaline dissolution itself is often ignored.

Surface hydration‐induced damage in tight oil‐bearing sandy conglomerate reservoirs
A series of techniques such as X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive spectroscopy, conductivity tests, and infrared thermal imaging were used. The key findings are the identification of a two‐stage surface hydration process and the elucidation of the effects of various minerals and elements on the hydration process ...
