Biogeochemical and Microbial Analyses of Deep Saline Hotwater Aquifer in the...
Opportunities to sample relatively undisturbed deep subsurface microbial communities rarely arise. This outline for an Urgency proposal relates to one such rare opportunity to... -
A Pilot Experiment on Rock Weathering in Permafrost
The processes by which frost shatters rock are subject to controversy. The main objective of the proposed research is to develop a new methodology for experimentally testing a... -
Deflection of mantle plume material by cratonic keels models and observations
Numerical models (sleep, 1996,1997) of mantle plumes that consider variations in lithospheric thicknesss suggest that deep cratonic roots influence the flow of hot, bouyant... -
Integrated assessment and modelling of soil contaminant behaviour, transport...
In process-controlled remediation of contaminated land the prospects for lasting success of a particular technique are often governed by the physicochemical properties and... -
Timing and Rates of Ice Sheet Thinning in the Ellsworth Mountains, Weddell...
The overall aim is to establish the timing and rate of thinning of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) from its maximum extent in an area inland of the Weddell Sea embayment.... -
Calibration of Speleothem Luminescene Excitation-Emission Wavelength...
Fibre-optic spectrophotometry permits the non-destructive analysis of speleothem luminescence wavelength with a temporal resolution of 1-10 years. This luminescence derives from... -
Age and Origin of Siberian diamonds: a Re-Os isotope study of sulphide inclusions
Knowing the age of diamonds is critical to understanding their formation and likely distribution in the mantle. Re-Os isotope analyses of synergetic sulphide inclusions allows... -
The Glacial Deposits at Upper Sundon Bedfordshire
These notes are based on a photographic record, made between 1950 and 1977, of the glacial deposits exposed in the workings of the Sundon Cement and Lime Works in south... -
Geometry and Dynamics of Large Ice Caps in the Canadian High Arctic
This proposal addresses the geometry and flow dynamics of three large ice caps in the Canadian arctic islands, with implications for glacier mass balance and the rate of sea-... -
An Experimental Study of the Stability of Hydrous Phases at High Pressures...
To determine the p-t stability of hydrous phases in ultramafic compositions in subduction zones, and the conditions at which h2o is released from subducting slabs in dehydration... -
