Carboxylic acid sorption on synthetic clays in marine water: in vitro experiments and implications for organo-clay behaviour under marine conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
International audienceIn order to investigate the role of clay minerals in organic matter preservation, the fixation of pure organic compounds on two synthetic low- and high-charge saponites was investigated in laboratory experiments simulating marine ...

Palagonitization of Volcanic Rocks in Polar Climates: The Case of Deception Island (Antarctica)

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract A detailed study of palagonitization in rocks from Deception Island—one of Antarctica's most active volcanoes—has been performed to advance our understanding of this alteration process. A detailed petrographic (optical and SEM), mineralogical (XRD), and mineral and glass spot geochemistry (EDS and EMP) characterization has been conducted on ...

Abrasion Patch Dehydration Experiment at Bright Angel, Jezero Crater, Using SuperCam Onboard the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Investigating the stability of hydrated minerals is integral for examining the preservation of rocks for potential Mars Sample Return and has major implications for models that use rover‐based observations to quantify Mars' global water budget.

Phyllosilicate Infrared Spectral Features as Tracers of Aqueous Alteration in CM Chondrites and Implications for Remote Sensing of Hydrated Asteroids

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract CM (Mighei‐type) carbonaceous chondrites host abundant OH/H2O‐bearing phyllosilicates formed from water‐rock reactions in primitive planetesimals. Their infrared (IR) spectral features resemble those of C‐type asteroids, making laboratory analyses of CMs essential for interpreting asteroid observations.

Yamato-86789: A heated CM-like carbonaceous chondrite [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
We have studied the mineralogy and petrology of the Yamato (Y)-86789 meteorite and concluded that this meteorite is a new member of heated carbonaceous chondrites with CI-CM affinities.

Clasts in the CM2 carbonaceous chondrite Lonewolf Nunataks 94101: evidence for aqueous alteration prior to complex mixing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Clasts in the CM2 carbonaceous chondrite Lonewolf Nunataks (LON) 94101 have been characterized using scanning and transmission electron microscopy and electron microprobe analysis to determine their degrees of aqueous alteration, and the timing of ...

Sulfur‐bearing serpentine in carbonaceous chondrites

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 12, Page 2864-2890, December 2025.
Abstract A correlative multi‐technique approach, including electron microscopy and X‐ray synchrotron work, has been used to obtain both structural and compositional information of a sulfur‐bearing serpentine identified in several carbonaceous chondrites (Winchcombe CM2, Aguas Zarcas CM2, Ivuna CI, and Orgueil CI), and in Ryugu samples returned by the ...

Excitation Energy Transfer between Porphyrin Dyes on a Clay Surface: A Study Employing Multifidelity Machine Learning

open access: yesAdvanced Theory and Simulations, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2025.
Inspired by natural light‐harvesting systems, this study computationally investigates a synthetic antenna by arranging cationic free‐base porphyrin molecules on an anionic clay surface. Using a multiscale quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approach combined with a multifidelity machine learning method, excitation energies are predicted ...
