A shale's composition can be used to infer physical, chemical, and biological processes that
have acted on it over its life history and this knowledge is used to surmise conditions at the …

The large discrepancy between field and laboratory measurements of mineral reaction rates
is a long-standing problem in earth sciences, often attributed to factors extrinsic to the …

We dissolved Boulder Creek Granodiorite in a plug flow reactor for 5794h at pH= 1 and T=
25° C. The primary purpose of the experiment was to identify controls on dissolved …

Soils developed on the Oatka Creek member of the Marcellus Formation in Huntingdon,
Pennsylvania were analyzed to understand the evolution of black shale matrix porosity and …

Sedimentary basins host, among others, most of our energy and fresh-water resources: they
can be regarded as large geo-reactors in which many physical and chemical processes …

A detailed bulk and molecular study on paleoweathering of a Lower Carboniferous
(Tournaisian) black shale from the Kowala quarry in the Holy Cross Mountains of Poland …

Background Despite being necessary, copper is a toxic heavy metal that, at high
concentrations, harms the life system. The parameters that affect the bioreduction and …

Underground engineering often passes through water-rich fractured rock masses, which are
prone to fracture and instability under the long-term coupling of in-situ stress field and pore …

We systematically investigated six soil profiles developed on a climosequence of gray shale
to constrain the mobility and fractionation of rare earth elements (REE) during chemical …

It has been estimated that technically recoverable reserves from shales in the continental US
are believed to be approximately 24 billion barrels of oil (BBO) and 750 trillion cubic feet …
