Evidence for silicate dissolution on Mars from the Nakhla meteorite [PDF]

, 2013
Veins containing carbonates, hydrous silicates and sulphates that occur within and between grains of augite and olivine in the Nakhla meteorite are good evidence for the former presence of liquid water in the Martian crust.

Ngarrawa (mound spring) sediments as archives of Holocene environmental change in arid central Australia: Insights from Itrax XRF scanning

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Central Australia's ngarrawa, or ‘mound springs’, are unique hydrological systems that serve as some of the only near‐permanent sources of water and continuous sediment deposition in Australia's arid interior. As such, they hold significant potential as palaeo‐climate and ‐environmental archives in a region where many aspects of past climate ...

Silicon differentially protects PSII and PSI photochemistry and preserves fatty acid metabolism in salt‐stressed Sorghum bicolor (L.)

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Silicon (Si) has been demonstrated to be an important element to enhance crop tolerance against salinity. Nevertheless, mechanisms underlying Si's mitigation of salt stress remains insufficiently explored and understood. This study aims to provide new insights into Si's impact on salt‐stressed Sorghum bicolor (L.) supplied or not ...

Particle‐Scale Mechanics of a Regolith‐Type Soil

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The existing studies have reported that the surface of Mars shows the presence of materials having igneous origin, including basalt and regolith‐type coarse soils. These findings are affected by significant uncertainties and, therefore, the selection of simulants for various exploration applications, including surface mobility of rovers ...

Geochemical Weathering Variability in High Latitude Watersheds

, 2023
High latitude regions across the globe are undergoing severe modifications due to changing climate. A high latitude region of concern is the Gulf of Alaska (GoA) where these changes in hydroclimate undoubtedly effect the hydrogeochemistry of freshwater ...

Silicate weathering and the habitability of temperature, rocky planets

, 2022
Through the climate-dependence of silicate weathering, the carbonate-silicate cycle is thought to provide a powerful negative feedback on atmospheric CO2 that has maintained clement surface conditions on Earth almost continuously for 4 billion years in the face of profound environmental change.

Silicate weathering in the Ganges alluvial plain

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2015
AbstractThe Ganges is one of the world's largest rivers and lies at the heart of a body of literature that investigates the interaction between mountain orogeny, weathering and global climate change. Three regions can be recognised in the Ganges basin, with the Himalayan orogeny to the north and the plateaus of peninsular India to the south together ...
