Molybdenum concentrations and stable isotope compositions have been extensively applied to marine sediments for palaeo-redox reconstruction. While the…

Abstract. Quantifying erosion across spatial and temporal scales is essential for assessing different controlling mechanisms and their contribution to long-term sediment production. However, the…

The formation of secondary Al-hydroxysulfates is environmentally important as they regulate aluminum concentrations in acidic environments and may ser…

npj Space Exploration - Scarp-fronted deposits record the highest water level in Mars’ Valles Marineris

Today, natural disasters in alpine valleys pose a continuous threat to urban areas and infrastructure. Investigating past mass movements and assessing their return periods enhances our ability to pred...

Previous studies have shown the utility of Molybdenum (Mo) concentrations and isotopic compositions as sensitive recorders for changes in redox condit…

Proglacial settings in the Alps are typically polygenetic, often characterized by a complex and discontinuous interplay between glacial, fluvial and gravitational processes. These processes yield…

Abstract. The transition from strong to weak mechanical behavior in the Earth's continental middle crust is always caused by an initiation of viscous deformation. Microstructural evidence from field…

The breakdown of hydrous minerals during subduction results in a densification of the rocks, producing volume changes that can trigger fluid pressure fluctuations and hydrofracturing. These volume ch...

To obtain a mechanistic understanding of material reactivity and transport properties of bottom ash landfill leachate, this study investigates hydrolo…

Oceanic serpentinisation represents a major link between the hydrosphere and the lithosphere, whereby aqueous fluids hydrothermally alter mantle rocks…

Diamond formation ages are crucial in understanding carbon mobility and diamond growth/destruction processes in the mantle linked to large tectono-mag…

Serpentinite-hosted carbonate rocks (i.e., ophicarbonates) are an important rock type for the deep C cycle because they can occur either in the slab or in the mantle wedge. We present a case study of ...

Reservoirs of proto-Earth and carbonaceous chondrites lost their volatile element budget in the first ~3 Ma of the Solar System.

Abstract. Kimberlite melts are widely considered to be enriched in volatiles, both CO2 and H2O. Yet, estimated H2O concentrations in primitive kimberlites

Abstract. Pre-existing geological discontinuities such as faults and fractures represent structural and mechanical discontinuities in rocks which influence earthquake processes. As earthquakes occur…

Isopleth thermobarometry involves comparing compositional isopleths generated from forward thermodynamic models with the measured mineral compositions…

Emergence of land and continental weathering feedbacks likely started around 3.8 to 3.6 billion years ago, according to silicon isotope analysis of Archean granitoids.

Sheet silicates play an important role in shaping crustal rheology and shear localization at shallow depths through their low strength. However, their…

This study investigates Late Holocene environmental changes in Central Cameroon induced by the combined effects of climate and human impact. For this purpose, sediments from lakes Dang, Massote,…

Material supply, water transport, and river engineering structures such as dams and barrages potentially disrupt and alter the downstream grain size p…

MinPlotX is an open-source software for mineral formula recalculation and compositional plotting providing an easy-to-use stand-alone graphical...

Constraining the timescales of metamorphic processes is critical to understanding geodynamics on Earth. It is generally accepted that the rates of met…

Abstract. Subducted serpentinites are important for recycling water and fluid mobile elements into the deep Earth. Here we present a texturally controlled

Abstract. This work summarizes the results of an interdisciplinary project where we aimed to explore the origin of overdeepenings through a combination of a gravimetry survey, drillings, and dating. T...
