MonographDOI
The Rock Physics Handbook
TL;DR: The third edition of the reference book as discussed by the authors has been thoroughly updated while retaining its comprehensive coverage of the fundamental theory, concepts, and laboratory results, and highlights applications in unconventional reservoirs, including water, hydrocarbons, gases, minerals, rocks, ice, magma and methane hydrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic digestion of microalgae as a necessary step to make microalgal biodiesel sustainable.
TL;DR: The ability of these CO2 consuming microalgae to purify biogas and concentrate methane is discussed, and anaerobic digestion of the whole biomass appears to be the optimal strategy on an energy balance basis for the energetic recovery of cell biomass.

The molecular representations of coal – A review
TL;DR: Between 1942 and 2010 there were >134 proposed molecular level representations (models) of coal, and while they spanned the rank range, bituminous representations are the bulk, with far fewer lignite, and very few subbituminous or anthracite representations.

Geochemical evolution of organic-rich shales with increasing maturity: A STXM and TEM study of the Posidonia Shale (Lower Toarcian, northern Germany)
Sylvain Bernard,Brian Horsfield,Hans-Martin Schulz,Richard Wirth,Anja Schreiber,Neil Sherwood +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a combination of compositional organic geochemistry and spectromicroscopy techniques, including synchrotron-based scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM), was used to characterize samples of the Lower Toarcian Posidonia Shale from northern Germany at varying stages of thermal maturation.

Biogeochemistry of Microbial Coal-Bed Methane
Dariusz Strąpoć,Maria Mastalerz,Katherine S. Dawson,Jennifer L. Macalady,Amy V. Callaghan,Boris Wawrik,Courtney Turich,Matthew Ashby +7 more
TL;DR: The anaerobic metabolism of the bacteria breaking coal down to methanogenic substrates, the likely rate-limiting step in biogenic gas production, is not fully understood and coal molecules are more recalcitrant to biodegradation with increasing thermal m...

TL;DR: Pore water profiles of total CO 2, pH, PO 3−4, NO − 3 plus NO − 2, SO 2− 4, S 2−, Fe 2+ and Mn 2+ have been obtained in cores from pelagic sediments of the eastern equatorial Atlantic under waters of moderate to high productivity as mentioned in this paper.

Sedimentary pyrite formation: An update
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that organic matter appears to be the major control on pyrite formation in normal (non-euxinic) terrigenous marine sediments where dissolved sulfate and iron minerals are abundant.
