Mineral–microbe interactions play important roles in environmental change, biogeochemical
cycling of elements and formation of ore deposits. Minerals provide both beneficial (physical …

Over the past century a number of models have been developed to explain the vast
stratigraphic distribution of authigenic dolomite. These models include hydrogeological …

Crystals grow in supersaturated solutions. A mysterious counterexample is dolomite CaMg
(CO3) 2, a geologically abundant sedimentary mineral that does not readily grow at ambient …

The genesis and evolution of lacustrine pre-salt carbonate reservoirs, which contain giant
hydrocarbon accumulations along the South Atlantic margins, has attracted major research …

An experimental study was conducted to determine oxygen and carbon isotope fractionation
factors in the system dolomite–water–CO 2 at 80–350 and 100–250° C, respectively, by …

This perspective proposes a potential pathway to diminish atmospheric CO2 accumulations
which is distinct from traditional carbon capture and geological sequestration strategies and …

Micro-organisms contribute to Earth's mineral deposits through a process known as bacteria-
induced mineral precipitation (BIMP). It is a complex phenomenon that can occur as a result …

It is often acknowledged that the search for life on Mars might produce false positive results,
particularly via the detection of objects, patterns or substances that resemble the products of …

The recognition of past habitable environments on Mars has increased the urgency to
understand biosignature preservation in and characterize analogues of these environments …
