Shock metamorphism of ordinary chondrites
Abstract A revised petrographic classification of progressive stages of shock metamorphism of ordinary chondrites is proposed. Six stages of shock (S1 to S6) are defined, based on shock effects in olivine and plagioclase as recognized by thin...

The Effect of Geological Structure and Heterogeneity on CO2 Storage in Simple 4-way Dip Structures; a Modeling Study from the UK Southern North Sea
Abstract The Bunter Sandstone Formation in the Southern North Sea is folded into a number of simple 4-way dip-closed structures (domes). Most of these structures are saline water-bearing, although some of them do contain significant gas...

Ozone-initiated VOC and particle emissions from a cleaning agent and an air freshener: Risk assessment of acute airway effects
Abstract Emissions of volatile organic compounds and ultrafine particles from a kitchen cleaning agent (cream) and plug-in air freshener were investigated in a 20m3 walk-in climate chamber at low (~5ppb) and high ozone (~50ppb) test concentrations...

Linked multicontinuum and crack tensor approach for modeling of coupled geomechanics, fluid flow and transport in fractured rock
Abstract In this paper, we present a linked multicontinuum and crack tensor approach for modeling of coupled geomechanics, fluid flow, and solute transport in fractured rock. We used the crack tensor approach to calculate effective block-scale...

The emergence and growth of a submarine volcano: The Kameni islands, Santorini (Greece)
Abstract The morphology of a volcanic edifice reflects the integrated eruptive and evolutionary history of that system, and can be used to reconstruct the time-series of prior eruptions. We present a new high-resolution merged LiDAR-bathymetry grid, ...
