Previously CO2, as a heat-extraction fluid, has been proposed as a superior substitute for brine in geothermal energy extraction. Hence, the new concept of CO2-plume geothermal (CPG) is suggested to generate heat from geothermal aquifers using CO2 as...

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 602, Article 117945. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2022.117945

The geological carbon cycle has played a key role in controlling climate throughout Earth's history. For the last ∼3 billion years plate tectonics has driven subduction. Subducted slabs have transported CO2 from the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmo...

Marine and Petroleum Geology, 149, Article 106071. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2022.106071

The rhenium-osmium (Re–Os) isotope system has been applied to several marine and lacustrine petroleum systems worldwide, showing good potential for dating crude oils and correlating them to their source rocks. Here we explore the applicability of the... Read More about Evaluation of Re–Os geochronology and Os isotope fingerprinting of Late Cretaceous terrestrial oils in Taranaki Basin, New Zealand.

New fossil assemblages from the Early Ordovician Fezouata Biota (2022)
Journal Article

The Dalradian Supergroup of largely clastic metasediments in Scotland and Ireland is a well-known record of Neoproterozoic to Cambrian sedimentation on the Laurentian margin. Its apparent long duration, from ∼ 800 to ∼ 500 Ma, has encouraged a search...

The presence of a pore fluid is recognized to significantly increase the mobility of saturated over dry granular flows. However, the mechanisms through which pore fluid increases mobility may not be captured in experimental flows of small volume typi...
