The drift history of the Lhasa terrane from Gondwana to Asia plays a crucial role in understanding the Tethys evolution and true polar wander (TPW). However, few reliable paleomagnetic results from Jurassic strata are ...

Barite (BaSO4) is a major nuisance in terms of scale in oil and gas recovery and in the use of geothermal energy. Therefore, it is essential to study the physico-chemical paramaters influencing the particle charge, size, ...

A water supply is vital for preserving usual human living standards, industrial development, and agricultural growth. Scarce water supplies and unplanned urbanization are the primary impediments to results in dry environments. ...

Extrusion-based concrete 3D printing is being increasingly used in the construction industry. This paper gives insights into the porosity and pore structure of 3D printed concrete elements using mercury intrusion porosimetry, ...

The Paleocene lavas from Dianzhong Formation (E1d) in Linzhou basin of southern Lhasa terrane are a key target for paleomagnetic investigations into the timing and paleolatitude of the initial India-Asia collision. Controversy ...

The Pliocene-Pleistocene transition is characterized by an abundance of Ice-Rafted Debris (IRD) in the North Atlantic basin. One of the regions affected by IRD during this period is the Gardar Drift, where the DSDP Leg 94 ...

Better documentation and understanding of long-term temporal dynamics of nutrients in watersheds are necessary to support effective water quality management. We examined the hypothesis that the recent management of fertilizer ...

During the middle Pliocene (∼3.8–3.2 Ma), both Australopithecus afarensis and Kenyanthropus platyops are known from the Turkana Basin, but between 3.60 and 3.44 Ma, most hominin fossils are found on the west side of Lake ...

Depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs are a promising target for CO2 sequestration. Injection of cold CO2 into such geological reservoirs will cause thermal stresses and strains in wellbore casings, cement seals and surrounding ...

The key to most subsurface processes is to determine how structural and topological features at small length scales, i.e., the microstructure, control the effective and macroscopic properties of earth materials. Recent ...
