A primordial origin for the atmospheric methane of Saturn's moon Titan [PDF]

, 2009
The origin of Titan's atmospheric methane is a key issue for understanding the origin of the Saturnian satellite system. It has been proposed that serpentinization reactions in Titan's interior could lead to the formation of the observed methane ...

Magnetic Signature of Oceanic Transform Faults and Their Fracture Zones

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Oceanic transform faults (TFs) offset mid‐ocean ridges, juxtaposing different‐aged crust and causing fracture zones (FZ) crossing ocean basins. Mounting evidence challenges the consensus that TFs are conservative plate boundaries, instead supporting the existence of extensional tectonics and two phases of magmatism.

Ex-situ mineral carbonation: resources, process and environmental assessment (Carmex project) [PDF]

, 2013
This article presents the main results of the Carmex project (2009-2012), whose purpose was to review the feasibility of ex-situ mineral carbonation in terms of resource availability, performance of the aqueous mineral carbonation process and life cycle ...

Interior Rifting Coupled With Peripheral Subduction in the Rodinia Supercontinent: New Insights From the Tarim Craton

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract After assembly, supercontinents are shaped by internal rifting and peripheral subduction. However, the geodynamic relationship between these two processes and their respective contributions to supercontinent breakup remain poorly understood.

Hornblendite in the Lower Crust: A Possible Source for Porphyry Cu Deposits

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Lower crustal sulfide‐bearing Cu‐rich cumulates, mainly occurring as hornblendite, have been proposed as a critical source component for the development of giant porphyry Cu deposits (PCDs); however, their mineralogical and geochemical nature remain elusive.

Mineral reconnaissance at the Highland boundary with special reference to the Loch Lomond and Aberfoyle areas [PDF]

, 1983
Serpentinite bodies at the Highland Boundary in the Loch Lomond and Aberfoyle areas are extensively altered to magnesite-quartz and ferroan-dolomite-quartz rocks. Silicification was probably initiated before conversion to carbonate.

Ediacara Obscura: Unveiling Hidden Magnetisations in the Fen Complex, Southern Norway

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Paleomagnetic directions found in Ediacaran (635–539 Ma) rocks are widely dispersed, which has led to conflicting hypotheses about tectonic regimes and geomagnetic field behavior during this period, and raised doubts about the fidelity of the paleomagnetic record.

In Situ Detection of Opal‐A in Jezero Crater, Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We report the in situ detection of amorphous hydrated silica in the Bills Bay abrasion patch, located in the eastern portion of the Margin Unit between the rim of Jezero crater and the western delta. Here, hydrated silica co‐occurs with olivine, Fe‐Mg carbonates, secondary Fe‐Mg silicates, and hydrated Mg‐sulfate as determined by UV Raman ...

Characterization and nutrient release from silicate rocks and influence on chemical changes in soil

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2012
The expansion of Brazilian agriculture has led to a heavy dependence on imported fertilizers to ensure the supply of the growing food demand. This fact has contributed to a growing interest in alternative nutrient sources, such as ground silicate rocks ...

Mineralogical Characterization of the Lunar South Polar Region: 2. Exploring Mafic‐Bearing Targets With Optimized Traverse Paths at Mons Kocher

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Several national space agencies and commercial entities are currently targeting the Moon's south polar region for human and robotic exploration. Of particular interest are materials excavated and ejected from the Moon's largest and oldest impact structure, the South Pole‐Aitken Basin (SPA), as these ancient materials are a window into the ...
