The Anthropocene Square Meter

Sarah Nichols, Marion Moutal, Tiffanie Paré, Ziu Tristan August Bruckmann

This is a model of the average cumulative anthropogenic change to the earth’s surface. It was proposed by Jan Zalasiewicz, Emeritus Professor of Palacobiology at the University of Leicester. Zalasiewicz is known as one of the first people to put forward th ...

Insights into the microbial reduction of pentavalent and hexavalent uranium species by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1

Margaux Camille Andréa Molinas

Decades of uranium-related activities such as ore mining, nuclear power generation, weapon manufacture, storage of nuclear wastes, have contributed to the release of U in the environment. U occurrence is concerning, since in surface environments, U is typi ...

Effect of normal and shear loading on the hydraulic transport properties of calcite bearing faults with customized roughness

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Mateo Alejandro Acosta

Understanding fluid flow in rough fractures is of high importance to large scale geologic processes and to most anthropogenic geo-energy activities. Here, we conducted fluid transport experiments on Carrara marble fractures with a novel customized surface ...

Surface roughness evolution in adhesive wear processes

Enrico Milanese

Geological faults movements generating earthquakes, a vehicles' tyres rolling on the pavement, and a chalk writing on a blackboard are all different examples of frictional systems. In these systems, which are everywhere around us, two separate bodies are i ...

Hydraulic Transport Through Calcite Bearing Faults With Customized Roughness: Effects of Normal and Shear Loading

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Mateo Alejandro Acosta

Understanding fluid flow in rough fractures is of high importance to large scale geologic processes and to most anthropogenic geo‐energy activities. Here we conducted fluid transport experiments on Carrara marble fractures with a novel customized surface t ...

Embodied Energy and Lifecycle Costs: Questioning (Mis)conceptions about Underground Construction

Philippe Thalmann, Aurèle Parriaux, Michael Robert Doyle

In the construction community, underground construction is perceived as being significantly more costly and more energy-consuming than comparable surface construction. Although the literature is scarce, studies that have attempted to quantify this differen ...

Dissolution-reprecipitation reaction of dolomite: investigation of self- and tracer-diffusion using SIMS mini-spot and NanoSIMS profiles

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Lukas Baumgartner

Recrystallization of minerals due to fluid infiltration modifies their original chemical and isotopic signature. Such processes are sought after as they give access to timescales of geologic processes, which are commonly quantified using diffusion chronome ...

Rapid Recruitment of Symbiotic Algae into Developing Scleractinian Coral Tissues

Thomas Bockel

While the early acquisition of Symbiodiniaceae algae into coral host tissues has been extensively studied, the dynamics of the migration of algal cells into rapidly expanding coral tissues still lacks a systematic study. This work examined two Red Sea bran ...

Emergence of self-affine surfaces during adhesive wear

Jean-François Molinari, Enrico Milanese, Ramin Aghababaei, Tobias Brink

Friction and wear depend critically on surface roughness and its evolution with time. An accurate control of roughness is essential to the performance and durability of virtually all engineering applications. At geological scales, roughness along tectonic ...

Origin of High-Frequency Radiation During Laboratory Earthquakes

François Xavier Thibault Passelègue

We monitor dynamic rupture propagation during laboratory stick-slip experiments performed on saw-cut Westerly granite under upper crustal conditions (10-90 MPa). Spectral analysis of high-frequency acoustic waveforms provided evidence that energy radiation ...
