Abstract: Prior to the advent of oxygenic photosynthesis ~ 2.8–3.2 Ga, life was dependent on chemical energy captured from oxidation–reduction reactions involving minerals or substrates generated through interaction of water with minerals. Terrestrial hydrothermal environments host abundant and… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract This paper examines the rheological behaviour of power law viscous materials arising from mixtures of deformation mechanisms and/or different mineral assemblages. The mixing relation is based on classical thermodynamics mixing relations where the enthalpy… read more here.
