Was the Kalkarindji Continental Flood Basalt Province a Driver of Environmental Change at the Dawn of the Phanerozoic?

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 435-447., 2021

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.

Formation mechanisms of ringwoodite: clues from the Martian meteorite Northwest Africa 8705

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2021
Ringwoodite and wadsleyite are the high-pressure polymorphs of olivine, which are common in shocked meteorites. They are the major constituent minerals in the terrestrial mantle.

Evolution of Olivine Fabrics During Deep Subduction and Exhumation of Continental Crust: Insights From the Yinggelisayi Garnet Lherzolite, South Altyn, NW China

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
The different olivine fabrics in ultramafic rocks have been widely used to discuss past tectonic settings, given that the olivine fabrics vary with pressure, temperature and water content.

CO2 Carbonation of Olivine-Admixed Marine Clay: Suitability for Bottom Liner Application

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
This paper focuses on employing an optimization approach in evaluating the hydraulic conductivity (HC) of CO2-carbonated olivine-admixed marine clay for possible utilization as a hydraulic barrier in engineered landfills to minimize leachate migration ...

Olivine weathering in soil, and its effects on growth and nutrient uptake in Ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.): a pot experiment. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Mineral carbonation of basic silicate minerals regulates atmospheric CO(2) on geological time scales by locking up carbon. Mining and spreading onto the earth's surface of fast-weathering silicates, such as olivine, has been proposed to speed up this ...

Response of a Coastal Microbial Community to Olivine Addition in the Muping Marine Ranch, Yantai

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Spreading olivine powder in seawater to enhance alkalinity through weathering reactions has been proposed as a potential solution to control atmospheric CO2 concentration.

Analyzing the Magnesium (Mg) Number of Olivine on the Lunar Surface and Its Geological Significance

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Olivine formation is directly related to Mg/Fe content. It is also significant in estimating the geological evolution of the moon. In this study, an estimation model of relative Mg number (Fo#) for lunar olivine was presented through multiple linear ...

Trace element geochemistry of ordinary chondrite chondrules: the type I/type II chondrule dichotomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We report trace element concentrations of silicate phases in chondrules from LL3 ordinary chondrites Bishunpur and Semarkona. Results are similar to previously reported data for carbonaceous chondrites, with rare earth element (REE) concentrations ...

The structure and cryptic layering of the Pados-Tundra ultramafic complex, Serpentinite belt, Kola Peninsula, Russia [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2017
The Paleoproterozoic Pados-Tundra ultramafic complex, ~6 x 1.5-2.1 km in size and ~2.1 Ga in age, located in the Kola Peninsula of Russia, is the main representative of the Serpentinite belt in the northern Fennoscandian Shield.

Temperature effects on the 15-85-micron spectra of olivines and pyroxenes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Far-infrared spectra of laboratory silicates are normally obtained at room temperature even though the grains responsible for astronomical silicate emission bands seen at wavelengths >20 micron are likely to be at temperatures below ~150 K.
