Synergistic CO2 Removal via Enhanced Olivine Weathering and Diatom Growth in the Ocean
Enhancing the alkalinity of the ocean is a promising approach for CO2 removal by promoting marine carbon sequestration. Olivine is a key candidate material for enhancing alkalinity owing to its release of silicates when dissolved in seawater.

The Significance of Multiple Saturation Points in the Context of Polybaric Near-fractional Melting [PDF]
Experimental petrologists have successfully located basaltic liquid compositions parental to mid-ocean ridge basalt that are, within experimental resolution, multiply saturated with three-phase harzburgite or four-phase lherzolite assemblages on their ...

A petrological, mineralogical and chemical analysis of the lunar mare basalt meteorites LaPaz Icefield 02205, 02224 and 02226 [PDF]
LaPaz Icefield (LAP) 02205, 02226, and 02224 are paired stones of a crystalline basaltic lunar meteorite with a low-Ti (3.21–3.43% TiO2) low-Al (9.93–10.45% Al2O3), and low-K (0.11–0.12% K2O) composition.

High precision measurement of trace F and Cl in olivine by electron probe microanalysis
Fluorine (F) and chlorine (Cl) are important volatiles in olivine and its high-pressure polymorphs, which would significantly affect olivine phase transition, melting temperature, and physical property of the mantle.

Spectral Deconvolution Analysis of Mafic Mineral in Irregular Mare Patches on the Moon
Irregular mare patches (IMPs), recently discovered on the Moon, are eruptions of magma on the lunar surface, and their origins are still in question. While prior studies on IMPs have mainly focused on optical image analysis, in this study, an analysis ...

Expanding the application of the Eu-oxybarometer to the lherzolitic shergottites and nakhlites: Implications for the oxidation state heterogeneity of the Martian interior [PDF]
Experimentally rehomogenized melt inclusions from the nakhlite Miller Range 03346 (MIL 03346) and the lherzolitic shergottite Allan Hills 77005 (ALH 77005) have been analyzed for their rare earth element (REE) concentrations in order to characterize the ...

Re-Os isotope and platinum group elements of a FOcal ZOne mantle source, Louisville Seamounts Chain, Pacific ocean [PDF]
The Louisville Seamount Chain (LSC) is, besides the Hawaiian-Emperor Chain, one of the longest-lived hotspot traces. We report here the first Re-Os isotope and platinum group element (PGE) data for Canopus, Rigil, and Burton Guyots along the chain, which

ECO: A new reference model of dry olivine electrical conductivity
Electrically Conductive Olivine, ECO, is presented as a new reference model for the electrical conductivity of dry olivine. The model takes into account the prevailing redox state, temperature and pressure in the upper mantle, as well as their effects on
