Journal ArticleDOI
Applications of X-ray computed tomography in the geosciences
TL;DR: X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a technique that allows non-destructive imaging and quantification of internal features of objects as mentioned in this paper, which can be used for the study of porosity, the relative distribution of contrasting solid phases and the penetration of injected solutions.
Book
Interpretation of micromorphological features of soils and regoliths
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide researchers and students with a global tool for interpretation of micromorphological features of regoliths and soils and discuss diagnostic horizons, materials and processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of saline solution properties on porous limestone salt weathering by magnesium and sodium sulfates
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the weathering behavior of sodium and magnesium sulfate within a porous limestone using different techniques, including mercury intrusion porosimetry, environmental scanning microscopy and X-ray computed tomography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Palaeolimnological evidence for widespread late 18th century drought across equatorial East Africa
TL;DR: The sediment records of three shallow climate-sensitive lakes in equatorial East Africa (Chibwera and Kanyamukali in western Uganda, and Baringo in central Kenya) contain clear lithological evidence of an episode of complete desiccation in the relatively recent past as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of macrotermes falciger activity on clays, sesquioxides and water-dispersible clay (WDC) con- tent was investigated by a physico-chemical, mineralogical and micromorphological study of termite mound and control soil profiles at various sites near Lubumbashi, SE Katanga, D.R. Congo.
