Rock and Mineral Weathering Experiments under Model Venus Conditions

Introduction. Chemical analyses of rock and rego-lith at the Venera and Vega landing sites [1] suggest that Venus' surface consists of basaltic rocks with variable amounts of S, either as a primary constituent or as a secondary product of atmospheric interactions. Starting with these chemistries, models of Venus mineralogy predict that the surface is composed of primary basaltic minerals, unrea...

The effect of surface rock fragments deployment pattern on soil erosion processes under simulated conditions

Extended abstract 1- Introduction The Soil surface characteristics have significant effects on the erosion process. The wide areas of watershed soil surfaces are covered with considerable amounts of rocks and pebbles. Surface rock fragments, resulting in water connectivity, change during the erosion process. Rock fragments on the soil surface may increase the infiltration and reduce soil loss...

Application of Schmidt rebound number for estimating rock strength under specific geological conditions

A literature review revealed that most of the empirical equations introduced for determination of the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of rocks based on the Schmidt hammer rebound number (N) are not sufficiently reliable mostly due to the relatively low coefficient of correlations. This is attributed to the fact that in most cases one formula is used for all types of rocks, altho...
