CC2.0 Special Event: Don DePaolo Talk

November 9, 2011

ESD Director Donald J. DePaolo talks about the link between climate change and the “carbon cycle change”: the fact that Earth’s carbon cycles have undergone revolutionary change, entirely due to human burning of fossil fuels and removal of forests

PBS Film on the Formation of Hawaii and Fundamental Earth Processes

May 3, 2011

Source:  Dan Hawkes A group of earth scientists, prominently including ESD Director Don DePaolo, have for years been studying the massive volcanoes on Hawaii’s Big Island—the largest and most active volcanic system on the planet—to find clues not only to the formation of the Hawaiian Islands, but also to the fundamental workings of Earth. Their…

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…

Testing a New Carbon Sequestration Strategy by Accelerating Calcite Precipitation in Soils

February 15, 2011

  Tetsu Tokunaga, Jiamin Wan, and Young Soo Han—ESD Effective methods for fixing carbon need to be developed o help control the adverse effects of increased atmospheric CO2concentrations. Unlike very deep subsurface reservoirs now being developed for geologic CO2 sequestration, surface soils are readily accessible, and hence are potentially more economical way of sequestering carbon.…

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…
