Substantial quantities of fine-grained basaltic dust have fallen on South Iceland soils over at least the past 3300 years, making this region an ideal natural analogue to define long-term consequences current Enhanced Rock Weathering efforts. A relatively pristine Gleyic/Histic Andosol, 3 m in height, receiving approximately 1250 mm rainfall annually was selected for study. This soil receives estimated 500–800 g m−2 y−1 dust. The waters system were regularly sampled as a function depth from...
Fluid inclusion data (microthermometry and Na-K-Li-Cl-Br chemistry) from Mississippi Valley-type Zn-Pb deposits in the Basque-Cantabrian basin, north Iberian Peninsula, indicate that fluid mixing occurred during mineralization. Cl/Br ratios of ore-forming brines suggest high salinity was primarily acquired by evaporation seawater. Only near salt domes (Orduna Murgia diapirs) do have halogen signatures indicative halite dissolution. Mixing fluids frequently cannot be detected using only...
CO2CRC has made a significant investment into establishing the feasibility of conducting CO2 injection experiment shallow fault at Otway International Test Centre. Two appraisal wells drilled and cored through Brumbys Fault indicate extends to base upper 2 m thick Hesse Clay layer, which forms seal underlying Port Campbell Limestone aquifer. The does not have defined core; rather, it is expressed by an approximately 6-10 wide cataclastic zone. Permeability within variable, ranging from tens...
Epigenetic Zn-Pb deposits in the Maestrat basin (eastern Spain) are hosted by dolostones that replace Aptian limestones. The have morphologies ranging from mineralized breccias to stratiform, massive replacements. Sphalerite and galena cementing precipitated as well-formed crystals; whereas, stratiform replacements characterized textures such colloform skeletal or dendritic growths. Two areas found: Valdelinares Mas de la Mina-Cedraman. highest ore grades (up 11% Zn) largest (ca. 30,000 t of...

Scenarios of barrier failure and radionuclide release to the near-surface environment are important consider within performance safety assessments repositories for nuclear waste. A geological repository spent fuel is planned at Forsmark, Sweden. Conceptual numerical reactive transport models were developed in order assess retention capacity Quaternary till clay deposits selected radionuclides, event an activity from repository. The elements considered carbon (C), chlorine (Cl), cesium (Cs),...
Organic matter is thought to play a role in the genesis of many Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) deposits, actino as reducing agent during thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR). Although TSR an extremely slow reaction t low temperatures (<100oC), under favorable conditions it may supply necessary reduced sulfur ore formation. To test this hypothesis, Itxaspe Zn-(Pb) MVT occurrence Basque-Cantabrian basin (Northern Spain) was studied. Sphalerite, main phase, generally found disseminated...
Abstract This study presents the experimental and modeling results of CO 2 injection transport in vadose zone performed PISCO2 facilities at ES.CO2 center Ponferrada (North Spain). During 46 days experiments, 62.10 kg were injected through 16 micro‐injectors a 35 m 3 unit filled with sandy material. Monitoring mapping surface flux periodically to assess evolution migration soil atmosphere. Numerical simulations run using TOUGH2 code EOS7CA research module considering two phases (gas liquid)...
