Watching Iron Geochemistry at the Nanosecond Timescale

April 7, 2011

The importance of determining molecular-scale reaction mechanisms in geochemistry At the molecular scale, most geochemical reactions are complex, multistep processes in which the elementary steps occur too quickly for direct observation. Together, these steps define an overall reaction mechanism. Although thermodynamic descriptions of geochemical processes are well established in many cases, knowledge of the mechanism…

An Intimate Look at the Life of Soil Carbon

March 10, 2011

Peter Nico The amount of carbon residing in world soils at any moment is greater than all the carbon in the atmosphere and biosphere (living things) combined. In fact, among the fast cycling global carbon reservoirs, soil is exceeded in quantitative importance only by the oceans. The large amount of carbon in soils makes understanding…

Reading the Life History of a 4.5 Billion-Year-Old Meteorite

March 4, 2011

Source:  LBNL TABL Researchers — including Earth Sciences Division Director Don DePaolo — have performed a micro-probe analysis of the core and outer layers of a pea-sized piece of a meteorite some 4.57 billion years old to reconstruct the history of its formation, providing the first evidence that dust particles like this one experienced wildly…

Defining the Interfacial Molecular Structure of Goethite: A Key to Understanding Environmental Chemical Reactions

December 10, 2010

The mineral goethite (a-FeOOH) is one of the most common iron minerals on Earth’s surface. As the chief constituent in many forms of natural rust, it is most obvious as the yellow or brown-red coloring agent in soils and sediments. It is also a microscopic to nanoscale mineral, with a high surface area and high…
