To explore connections between rock strength and rock falls, we undertook a comprehensive rock mechanics testing program for six granitic rock types in Yosemite Valley (California, USA) where rock falls are a common geomorphic and sometimes hazardous proce ...
Accurately constraining the formation and evolution of the lunar magnesian suite is key to understanding the earliest periods of magmatic crustal building that followed accretion and primordial differentiation of the Moon. However, the origin and evolution ...
To mitigate the rising level of CO2, biological method of CO2 sequestration is one of the effective methods. Chemolithotrophic microbes are able to fix atmospheric CO2 and precipitated polymorphic minerals like calcite, vaterite and aragonite. Based on thi ...

Magmatic dikes are a naturally occurring type of fluid-driven fractures [1] propagating in the lithosphere driven by buoyancy (more precisely by the difference between the in-situ minimum horizontal stress gradient and the magma weight). Fully-coupled mode ...

Volcanic eruptions result from complex interplay of magmatic processes including the ascent and storage of magma in the crust, volatile exsolution and crystallization. The dynamics of crystallization in shallow subvolcanic systems and the consequences of i ...

Silicon and oxygen are potential light elements in Earth's core because their stronger affinity to metal observed with increasing temperature posits that significant amounts of both can be incorporated into the core. It was proposed that an Fe-Si-O liquid ...

This study, which complements a first mineralogical work, presents detailed petrographic and chemical data on the sequences of clay infillings commonly found in serpentine veins of reactivated faults from the New Caledonian peridotite formation. Chemical t ...
The responses of uranium-bearing accessory minerals to shock metamorphism have received growing interest, because under extreme pressure and temperature conditions, these phases can form unique microstructures and/or polymorphs and their radiometric ages c ...
An investigation of the load-transfer mechanism in carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) ground anchors with multi-strap ends was conducted based on experimental and numerical studies of one- and two-strap anchors. Differences in the strap geometry, i.e. ...
The influence of temperature on the expansive behavior and microstructural damage of concrete due to the alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is studied experimentally by applying a new testing protocol, the Alkali-Wrapped Concrete Prism Test (AW-CPT). Early-stage ...
