A two-dimensional model for colloid transport in geochemically and physically heterogeneous porous media is presented. The model considers patchwise geochemical heterogeneity, which is suitable to describe the chemical variability of many surficial aquifers with ferric oxyhydroxide-coated porous matrix, as well as spatial variability of hydraulic conductivity, which results in heterogeneous flo...

Microbial communities and their associated metabolic activity in marine sediments have a profound impact on global biogeochemical cycles. Their composition and structure are attributed to geochemical and physical factors, but finding direct correlations has remained a challenge. Here we show a significant statistical relationship between variation in geochemical composition and prokaryotic comm...

in this research work, the frequency domain (fd) of surface geochemical data was analyzed to decompose the complex geochemical patterns related to different depths of the mineral deposit. in order to predict the variation in mineralization in the depth and identify the deep geochemical anomalies and blind mineralization using the surface geochemical data for the dalli cu-au porphyry deposit, a ...

18 The geochemical compositions of biogenic carbonates is increasingly used for 19 paleoenvironmental reconstructions. The skeletal ! 18 O temperature relationship is dependent 20 on water salinity, so many recent studies have focused on the Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios because 21 those ratios in water do not change significantly on short time scales. Thus, those elemental 22 ratios are considered to...

the surface sediment samples were analyzed for grain size carbonates (caco3) and organic carbon (oc) to obtain a preliminary view of its environmental conditions near point calimere along the southeast coast of vedaranyam, india. the total concentrations of major elements namely, si, al, fe, ca, mg, na, k and p in the surface sediments of vedaranyam coast are estimated. the element/al ratios al...

voluminous quaternary extrusive rocks, associated with widespread volcanic activities, occur in the northwestern iran and across the turkish-iranian plateau. field and petrographic studies reveal that these volcanic rocks, consisting of basalt to trachyandesite, occur as lava flows, columnar basalts, and cinder cones in three distinct areas of northern (bazergan-maku-burlan), middle (chalderan)...
