TL;DR: Diverse microbial communities and numerous energy-yielding activities occur in deeply buried sediments of the eastern Pacific Ocean and these sedimentary communities may supply dissolved electron donors and nutrients to the underlying crustal biosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sharp increase in central Oklahoma seismicity since 2008 induced by massive wastewater injection
TL;DR: Using seismicity and hydrogeological models, it is shown that fluid migration from high-rate disposal wells in Oklahoma is potentially responsible for the largest swarm of earthquakes in the central United States.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-rate injection is associated with the increase in U.S. mid-continent seismicity
TL;DR: It is found that the entire increase in earthquake rate is associated with fluid injection wells, and high-rate injection wells are much more likely to be associated with earthquakes than lower-rate wells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progression of natural attenuation processes at a crude-oil spill site: I. Geochemical evolution of the plume.
Isabelle M. Cozzarelli,Barbara A. Bekins,Mary Jo Baedecker,George R. Aiken,Robert P. Eganhouse,Mary Ellen Tuccillo +5 more
TL;DR: In monitoring the remediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated ground water by natural attenuation, subtle concentration changes in observation well data from the anoxic zone may be diagnostic of depletion of the intrinsic electron-accepting capacity of the aquifer.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of zero-order, first-order, and monod biotransformation models
TL;DR: In this article, a series of numerical simulations comparing results of first-and zero-order rate approximations to Monod kinetics for a real data set illustrates that if concentrations observed in the field are higher than K{sub S, it may be better to model degradation using a zeroorder rate expression.
