Sustainability and dynamics of outcrop-to-outcrop hydrothermal circulation [PDF]
AbstractMost seafloor hydrothermal circulation occurs far from the magmatic influence of mid-ocean ridges, driving large flows of water, heat and solutes through volcanic rock outcrops on ridge flanks. Here we create three-dimensional simulations of ridge–flank hydrothermal circulation, flowing between and through seamounts, to determine what controls ...

The pore structure controls the storage and migration of geofluids within shale and ultimately determines its reservoir quality. Therefore, the characterization of shale pore structure has become more and more meaningful in geological engineering ...

Reconstruction of eolian bed forms and paleocurrents from cross-bedded strata at Victoria Crater, Meridiani Planum, Mars [PDF]
Outcrop exposures imaged by the Opportunity rover at Victoria Crater, a 750 m diameter crater in Meridiani Planum, are used to delineate sedimentary structures and further develop a dune-interdune depositional model for the region.

An Integrated Approach for Simulation of Two-Phase Flows in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs Using Embedded Discrete Fracture Model and Aerial Image Processing [PDF]
This paper introduces an integrated approach for simulating two-phase flows in naturally fractured reservoirs. The proposed computational process comprises two key steps: 1) generating a representation of the fracture network from aerial images using ...

Fire effects on rock weathering in the North Patagonian Andean Range
Fire-induced rock exfoliation is a rapid mechanical weathering process characterized by an uneven heating and thermal expansion stress that causes the detachment of rock peels, flakes or spalls.

The Weathering Microbiome of an Outcropping Granodiorite [PDF]
Microorganisms have long been recognized for their capacity to catalyze the weathering of silicate minerals. While the vast majority of studies on microbially mediated silicate weathering focus on organotrophic metabolism linked to nutrient acquisition, it has been recently demonstrated that chemolithotrophic ferrous iron [Fe(II)] oxidizing bacteria ...

Topographically forced long waves on a sheared coastal current. Part 1. The weakly nonlinear response [PDF]
The flow of a constant-vorticity current past coastal topography is investigated in the long-wave weakly nonlinear limit. In contrast to other near-critical weakly nonlinear systems this problem does not exhibit hydraulically controlled solutions.

The usefulness of outcrop-analogue air-permeameter measurements for analysing aquifer heterogeneity: testing outcrop hydrogeological parameters with independent borehole data [PDF]
Outcropping sediments can be used as easily accessible analogues for studying subsurface sediments, especially to determine the small-scale spatial variability of hydrogeological parameters.
