Chemical Heterogeneities along the South Atlantic Mid-Ocean-Ridge (5-11°S): Shallow or Deep Recycling of Ocean Crust? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Between 5° and 11°S, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge displays anomalous crustal thickness and geochemical compositions, thought to be related to either small scale upper mantle heterogeneities or a weak, diffuse mantle plume.

Dose‐Dependent Effects of Biochar on Soil Revealed by Fast Field‐Cycling (FFC) NMR: From Molecular Water Dynamics to Soil Functionality

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Chemistry, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 349-364, March 2026.
Dose–response of biochar in a clay soil: fifteen mixtures (fBC 0–1) reveal nonlinear thresholds (pH/EC) and sharp WHC gains near fBC ≈ 0.3–0.5. Coupled FT‐IR and FFC‐NMR (0.01–10 MHz; ModelFree τc distributions) link water dynamics to soil functionality.

Surface Physicochemical Properties of Smectite‐Rich Fault Gouge: A Case Study of the Japan Trench Plate‐Boundary Fault

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
The frontal part of the Japan Trench plate‐boundary fault is enriched in low‐strength smectite, and this material characteristic is thought to be a factor for the large fault slip during the 2011 Mw 9.0 Tohoku‐oki earthquake.

Steric Effects of Alkyl Ammonium Salts on the Combustion of Exchanged Smectite Clays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Bomb calorimetry was explored as a new method for determining the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of clays. Smectite clays were modified with several alkyl ammonium salts varying in number of carbons and the spatial orientation of the carbons about the ...

Clay Reimagined: Phyllosilicates as Future Membrane Technologies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 3, 3 February 2026.
Recent advancements in membrane technologies based on 2D materials have drawn attention for molecular‐scale separations owing to these materials’ tunable nanoscale interlayer properties. Phyllosilicates, natural and abundant layered clay minerals, have emerged as scalable and cost‐effective candidates.

Coupled authigenic Mg silicate and carbonate precipitation in saline lakes of the Salar de Atacama, Northern Chile

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Sediments, unlithified and lithified microbial mats in the Salar de Atacama, are formed by similar pathways involving coupled precipitation of authigenic Mg silicate and calcium carbonate. Differences in products reflect differences in the initial distribution of organic biomass.

Organoclay interaction response to sedimentary environment and sources in Paleogene shales from the Nanpu Sag: Insights for organic matter accumulation mechanism

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
The deep paleo‐lake, characterised by low energy and moderate salinity, facilitated the input of fine‐grained minerals and the development of aquatic organic matter. Under the combined influence of the sedimentary environment and material source, mineral‐bound organic matter was formed, which played a crucial role in the enrichment of organic matter ...

Badlands and environmental change [PDF]

open access: yesGeographica Helvetica
Badlands develop in many climatic regions, on a wide range of soils and in various bedrock types. The physical triggers for development of badlands can be natural, such are tectonic activity and climate change, but more frequently they are human induced,

Tensile Strength: A Pedologist's Perspective on Variability in Cohesive and Non‐Cohesive Horizons From Brazil's Coastal Tablelands

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 1, Page 36-48, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Previous research has underscored the importance of evaluating soil consistency for accurate determination of cohesive character and mechanical properties. Although qualitative assessments by pedologists are pertinent, they exhibit inherent subjectivity that may compromise accuracy.
