This paper aims to study the geochemical characteristics of shale of Disang group of Eocene age. Geochemical study and the data reported indicate that Shales are deposited under the marine condition. Tectonic setting was active continental margin to passive continental margin and sediments were derived from volcanic and/or granitic source area. Study reveals that Source-rating of studied shale ...

This comment highlights a whole series of datasets on thallium concentrations in the environment that were overlooked in the recent review by Karbowska, Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 188, 640, 2016 in this journal. Geochemical surveys carried out over the last few decades all over the world at various scales and using different sampling media have reported the concentration of thalli...

One of the persistent uncertainties in establishing marine geochemical mass balances is evaluating the influence of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) into the ocean. Our long-term goal is to develop geochemical tools (e.g., radon and radium isotopes) to quantify the magnitude of SGD on a local to regional scale. Improvements in field-based analytical devises is also sought in order to allow...

The recently recovered Antarctic achondrites Graves Nunatak 06128 and 06129 are unique meteorites that represent high-temperature asteroidal processes in the early solar system never before identified in any other meteorite. They represent products of early planetesimal melting (4564.25 ± 0.21 Ma) and subsequent metamorphism of an unsampled geochemical reservoir from an asteroid that has charac...

A preliminary draft of an NRC site technical position on geochemical issues at RHO/BWIP was transmitted to you on 19 January 1984. A preliminary draft STP on seismotectonic issues was given to you last week. This satisfies our commitment for input into OPS Plan Commitment 5314215. We consider that both of these documents represent the basis for the geological stability and geochemical issues th...

NETPATH-WIN is an interactive user version of NETPATH, an inverse geochemical modeling code used to find mass-balance reaction models that are consistent with the observed chemical and isotopic composition of waters from aquatic systems. NETPATH-WIN was constructed to migrate NETPATH applications into the Microsoft WINDOWS® environment. The new version facilitates model utilization by eliminati...

Detecting deep mineralization from partial element concentrations in surface and near-surface samples requires detecting the signature of one geochemical process against a background that arises from many other geochemical processes. Since the last glaciation of the Canadian Shield, it is believed that only H+ can have diffused through substantial overburden, and hence that the only available s...
