Habitable Snowballs: Temperate Land Conditions, Liquid Water, and Implications for CO$_2$ Weathering

open access: yes, 2019
Habitable planets are commonly imagined to be temperate planets like Earth, with areas of open ocean and warm land. In contrast, planets in snowball states, where oceans are entirely ice-covered, are believed to be inhospitable.

The Material Basis of 18th‐Century Meissen Porcelain

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the summer of 1708, the quest for making hard‐paste porcelain from Saxonian clay and other mineral resources succeeded. This was achieved by applying as its essential ingredient newly discovered pure kaolin from Heidelsberg near Aue, western Saxon Ore Mountains.

The Influence of Weathering on Hydrogeochemistry of Streams Draining Volcanic Rocks: Bidkhan Stream, Southeast of Bardsir in Kerman [PDF]

open access: yesنشریه جغرافیا و برنامه‌ریزی, 2015
Bidkhan stream drains the caldera of the inactive volcano of Bidkhan which lies at a distance of 40 Km southeast of Bardsir town of Kerman Province. The main purpose of this study was to determine the source of ions and compounds dissolved in this stream

The Response of Magnesium, Silicon, and Calcium Isotopes to Rapidly Uplifting and Weathering Terrains: South Island, New Zealand

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2019
Silicate weathering is a dominant control on the natural carbon cycle. The supply of rock (e.g., via mountain uplift) has been proposed as a key weathering control, and suggested as the primary cause of Cenozoic cooling.

Terrestrial exposure of a fresh Martian meteorite causes rapid changes in hydrogen isotopes and water concentrations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Determining the hydrogen isotopic compositions and H2O contents of meteorites and their components is important for addressing key cosmochemical questions about the abundance and source(s) of water in planetary bodies.

Droughts and human impact in the ancient Uaymil region of the Maya lowlands inferred from a 2800‐year sedimentary archive at Lake Kaná, Mexico

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The relationship between the climate and societal transformation in Maya lowlands has long been debated, particularly the role of drought in shaping the civilization trajectory during the Classic Period. A high‐resolution, multi‐proxy, geochemical record from Lake Kaná, located in the underexplored Uaymil region of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico ...

Enhanced weathering during glacial periods and its dynamic response to climate and sea-level changes inferred from the northern South China Sea sediments

open access: yesQuaternary Science Advances
Secondary weathering of exposed continental shelf sediment at low-latitudes may play a significant role in atmospheric CO2 consumption during glacial periods, which is negative feedback for climate stability. However, more lines of evidences are required

The applications of chemical thermodynamics and chemical kinetics to planetary atmospheres research [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
A review of the applications of chemical thermodynamics and chemical kinetics to planetary atmospheres research during the past four decades is presented with an emphasis on chemical equilibrium models and thermochemical kinetics.

Palaeowinds and depositional conditions from Holocene loess in Sweden and Finland

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The nature of deglacial and Holocene wind regimes in Fennoscandia is debated, as is the degree to which wind‐blown loess deposits exist in the region. Loess deposits in Fennoscandia are often relatively thin, discontinuous and less well‐sorted than typical loess, and questions remain over the degree of their post‐depositional reworking and the impact ...

Predicting the dissolution kinetics of silicate glasses using machine learning

open access: yes, 2017
Predicting the dissolution rates of silicate glasses in aqueous conditions is a complex task as the underlying mechanism(s) remain poorly understood and the dissolution kinetics can depend on a large number of intrinsic and extrinsic factors.
