The porosity and permeability of sandstone and carbonate reservoirs (known as reservoir quality) are essential inputs for successful oil and gas resource exploration and exploitation …
Although pH is a fundamental property of Earth's oceans, critical to our understanding of seawater biogeochemistry, its long-timescale geologic history is poorly constrained. We …

The cyclic distribution of various types of carbonates and Mg-clays in early Cretaceous rift- sag phase lacustrine carbonates from the subsurface of the South Atlantic provides an …
For the first four billion years of Earth's history, climate was marked by apparent stability and warmth despite the Sun having lower luminosity. Proposed mechanisms for maintaining an …
Abstract The Glen Torridon (GT) region in Gale crater, Mars is a region with strong clay mineral signatures inferred from orbital spectroscopy. The CheMin X‐ray diffraction (XRD) …
The existence of stabilizing feedbacks within Earth's climate system is generally thought to be necessary for the persistence of liquid water and life. Over the course of Earth's history …

Phyllosilicates, one of the five major structural types of silicates, have highly variable structures and very complex chemistry. This manuscript reports the first comprehensive …
Jupiter's icy moon, Europa, harbors a subsurface liquid water ocean; the prospect of this ocean being habitable motivates further exploration of the moon with the upcoming NASA …
Two magnesium silicate hydrates (MSH) with structural magnesium/silicon ratios of 0.57±0.08 and 1.07±0.13 were synthesized at room temperature, with one year of synthesis …
