Olivine is the earliest mineral to crystallize from basaltic magma, and accurate knowledge of olivine/melt partition coefficients (D Ol-melt) for first-transition row elements (FTREs) Ga and Ge, is ...

In November, the Paris Climate Agreement goes into effect to reduce global carbon emissions. To achieve the set targets, experts say capturing and storing carbon must be part of the solution. Several ...

In a recent paper published in Communications Earth & Environment, researchers explored geologic carbon dioxide (CO 2) mineralization in basalt formations, focusing on how complex carbonate phases ...

U.S. scientists concerned about carbon dioxide (CO 2) leaks from sequestration attempts have been pursuing the option of natural chemical reactions within the earth to turn the carbon back into a ...

A new type of rock created during large and exceptionally hot volcanic eruptions has been discovered beneath the Pacific Ocean. A new type of rock created during large and exceptionally hot volcanic ...

After drilling a well in the Columbia River Basalt formation and testing its properties, the team injected CO2 into it in 2013. Core samples were extracted from the well two years later, and Pete ...

One field project in Iceland injected CO2 pre-dissolved in water into a basalt formation, where it was successfully stored. And starting in 2009, researchers with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory ...
