Mineral Weathering Experiments for Terrestrial Planetary Analogs in a Continuous‐Flow Reactor
Understanding the groundwater environments for ancient Mars and other terrestrial bodies is of great interest for evaluating their habitability. Here, we experimentally tested simulated aqueous alterations of two Mars simulants (variants of MGS‐1) using a continuous‐flow packed bed reactor, reacting with three ionic simulated groundwater analog ...

Oxychlorine Species on Mars: A Review
Abstract Oxychlorine species (mainly perchlorate and chlorate) have been identified at multiple locations on the surface of Mars by both orbiter and in situ rovers. They have also been found in martian meteorites. Cl‐isotopes in meteoritic minerals suggest that an oxychlorine cycle has been operating on the martian surface for the last ∼4 billion years.

Low-temperature behavior of natural kalsilite with P31c symmetry: An in situ single-crystal X-ray diffraction study [PDF]
The low-temperature behavior of a natural kalsilite (ideal formula KAlSiO4) with P31c symmetry has been investigated by in situ single-crystal diffraction. A series of intensity data collections and structural refinements have been performed at 298, 250,

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

Thermal Reactions of Smectite Minerals at Earthquake Timescales
Abstract Frictional heating causes a transient temperature rise in fault zones during earthquakes that leads to metamorphic reactions within the fault rocks. The products of these reactions provide potential evidence of earthquakes in both the outcrop and drill core. Clay minerals such as smectites are commonly found in faults.

Abstract Seismic surveys are essential for studying the Earth's subsurface. However, the interpretation of seismic surveys requires a link between field data and rock physical properties by linking laboratory‐derived data from drill core samples with borehole information and seismic images.

Mineral Chemistry of Chlorite Replacing Biotite from Granitic Rocks of the Canadian Appalachians [PDF]
Chlorite flakes, as a product of alteration of biotite, the dominant ferromagnesian mineral in the Paleozoic granitic rocks of the Canadian Appalachians, have been analyzed by electron microprobe for major elements and by 57Fe M?ssbauer spectroscopy for ...
