Variations in elastic and electrical properties of crustal rocks with varying degree of microfracturation

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Lucas Xan Pimienta, Luis Felipe Orellana Espinoza

This work aims at investigating the effect of varying degrees of microfracturing on the joint elastic and electrical transport properties of rocks. Different crustal rocks were subjected to Thermal Treatment, expected to induce microfracturing, up to diffe ...

An experimental model approach of biologically-assisted silicate dissolution with olivine and Escherichia coli - Impact on chemical weathering of mafic rocks and atmospheric CO2 drawdown

Philippe Gillet

Chemical weathering of Mg, Ca-silicates and alumino-silicates contributes significantly to the drawdown of atmospheric CO2 over long time scales. The present work focuses on how this mode of weathering may change in the presence of free-living bacteria in ...

Using Silicate Mineral Particles for pH Control during in situ Bioremediation of Chlorinated Ethene Source Zones

Elsa Marina Lacroix

Soil and groundwater pollution by chlorinated solvents such as tricholorethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE) is a frequent problem in the industrialized world. Chlorinated solvents, characterized by a low solubility and a density greater than water, fo ...

The structure of the asteroid 4 Vesta as revealed by models of planet-scale collisions

Philippe Gillet

Asteroid 4 Vesta seems to be a major intact protoplanet, with a surface composition similar to that of the HED (howardite-eucrite-diogenite) meteorites(1-4). The southern hemisphere is dominated by a giant impact scar(5), but previous impact models(6-8) ha ...

The role of silver on the stabilization of the incommensurately modulated structure in calaverite, AuTe2

Gervais Chapuis, Alla Arakcheeva

Structural investigations of several minerals belonging to the calaverite group with composition Au1–xAgxTe2 (x = 0.00, 0.02, 0.05, 0.09, 0.19, and 0.33) indicate that Ag is randomly distributed on the Au sites. This suppresses the valence fluctuation of A ...
