Sorption of Rare Earth Elements onto Kaolinite
Rare earth elements (REEs), defined as yttrium (Y), scandium (Sc), and the 15 lanthanides, have become prominent areas of focus in the geochemistry field. REEs are used in many alternative energy technologies and as ... -
EVIDENCE FOR AN OLIGOCENE YARLUNG-BRAHMAPUTRA CONNECTION AND CROSS SUTURE DRAINAGE FROM DETRITAL ZIRCON U-Pb AND εHf PROVENANCE ANALYSIS, NORTHERN INDO-BURMAN RANGES
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-05-03)The reorganization of continental-scale river systems is a fundamental control on the size and distribution of sedimentary basins along tectonically active plate boundaries. In the eastern Himalaya, river reorganization ... -
Observations of Englacial and Subglacial Hydrology at Sermeq Kujalleq (Store Glacier) from Autonomous Phase-Sensitive Radio Echo Sounding
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-05-03)Liquid water at the basal interface of a glacier reduces effective pressure and basal friction thus increasing ice motion. The timing of surface melt reaching the bed is poorly constrained, however. To more accurately ... -
Deep biosphere microbial protein interactions with clathrates
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-05-02)Gas clathrates are composed of a latticework of water molecules that trap guest gas molecules and form at high pressure and low temperatures. Methane clathrates along continental margins and in permafrost store thousands ... -
Europa's Surface and Shallow Water: Ice Shell Activity and Implications for Habitability
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-05-02)Beneath the geologically complex ice shell of Europa, Jupiter’s innermost icy satellite, likely lies a vast, saline subsurface ocean that may hold conditions favorable for life. Key to that question is how processes in the ... -
Modeling Ocean Circulation and Biogeochemical Dynamics in the Drake Passage
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2022-04-20)The Southern Ocean is a critical component of global climate and carbon cycling. Although an overall regional carbon sink, observations indicate uptake behavior fluctuates on seasonal to decadal scales, and there is much ... -
Submesoscale Impacts on Tracer Transport in the Gulf of Mexico
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-04-22)Mesoscale and submesoscale dynamics and their role on the transport and mixing of ocean biogeochemical tracers have been investigated widely in recent literatures. In general, large circulations and mesoscale eddies control ... -
Mapping and Quantifying Tortuous Ridges on Europa
Double ridges are the most common surface feature on Europa and account for both some of the oldest and newest surface features on the moon. Ridges with linear and cycloidal trajectories have been well-studied, with ... -
Mineralogical and Geochemical Controls on Polyphosphate Transformation and Mineralization in Marine Sedimentary Environments
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-12-07)Phosphorus (P) is an essential and limited micronutrient regulating marine primary productivity. Despite the critical roles of marine P cycle in global biogeochemical processes, the mechanisms leading to marine P removal ... -
