Voluminous silica precipitated from martian waters during late-stage aqueous alteration [PDF]
Mars' transition from an early "warm and wet" to the "cold and dry" environment left fingerprints on the geological record of fluvial activity on Mars. The morphological and mineralogical observations of aqueous activity provided varying constraints on the condition and duration of liquid water on martian surface.

SEDucate: sedimentary log exercises for an active learning environment
Active learning in higher education has been shown to improve students’ learning experience by focusing on a student-centered environment. However, the development of realistic activities that simulate the complexity of real world examples while being ...

Sedimentary Environment, Diagenesis, Sequence Stratigraphy, and Reservoir Quality of the Ilam Formation in Dezful Embayment and Abadan Plain in South-West Iran [PDF]
The Ilam Formation Cenomanian to Santonian in age is considered one of the main rock reservoirs of the Bangestan Group in the southwest of Iran. This formation mostly consists of carbonate rocks. To examine the sedimentary environment, diagenesis, sequence stratigraphy, and reservoir quality of Ilam Formation in Dezful embayment and Abadan Plain, four ...

Stratigraphy of Aeolis Dorsa, Mars: stratigraphic context of the great river deposits [PDF]
Unraveling the stratigraphic record is the key to understanding ancient climate and past climate changes on Mars. River deposits when placed in stratigraphic order could constrain the number, magnitudes, and durations of the wettest climates in Mars history. We establish the stratigraphic context of river deposits in Aeolis Dorsa sedimentary basin, 10E

Influence of Permeability Anisotropy and Layered Heterogeneity on Geothermal Energy Battery Storage [PDF]
The Geothermal Battery Energy Storage concept has been proposed to provide large-scale heat storage when solar radiance is available, to be later recovered for economic benefit. The concept uses solar radiance to heat water on the surface which is then injected into a suitable subsurface formation.

Sedimentary pyrite sulfur isotopes track the local dynamics of the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone
Sulfur cycling is ubiquitous in sedimentary environments, where it mediates organic carbon remineralization, impacting both local and global redox budgets, and leaving an imprint in pyrite sulfur isotope ratios (δ34Spyr).
