Sulfate reduction and sediment metabolism in Tomales Bay

TL;DR: Sulfate reduction rates in subtidal sediments of Tomales Bay, California, were variable by sediment type, season and depth as mentioned in this paper, with higher rates in near-surface muds during summer and lower rates in sandy sediments, in winter and deeper in the sediment.

Sulfur isotope's signal of nanopyrites enclosed in 2.7 Ga stromatolitic organic remains reveal microbial sulfate reduction

TL;DR: In situ sulfur isotope data from nanopyrites occurring in carbonaceous remains lining the domical shape of stromatolite knobs of the 2.7-Gyr-old Tumbiana Formation are presented and confirmed that MSR participated actively to the biogeochemical cycling of sulfur during the Neoarchean.

Sulphur diagenesis in the sediments of the Kiel Bight, SW Baltic Sea, as reflected by multiple stable sulphur isotopes.

TL;DR: The biogeochemistry of marine sediments from the Kiel Bight, coastal SW Baltic Sea, is studied based on the abundance and isotopic composition of organic carbon and different forms of sedimentary sulphur.

Sulfate Reduction and S-Oxidation in a Moorland Pool Sediment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated sulfate cycling near the sediment/water boundary in an oligotrophic moorland pool in The Netherlands by measuring reduction rates in the sediment, depletion of SO4¯¯¯¯2− in the overlying water column and release of 35S from the sediment into the water column.

The role of paragneiss assimilation in the origin of the Voisey's Bay Ni-Cu sulfide deposit, Labrador: Multiple S and Fe isotope evidence

TL;DR: The use of multiple S isotopes has allowed for the identification of a bacterial sulfate reduction biosignature in the Tasiuyak gneiss in the footwall to the Voisey's Bay deposit as discussed by the authors.

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.

The Sulfur Cycle

TL;DR: The authors' model of the sulfur cycle can draw some conclusions that man is now contributing about one half as much as nature to the total atmospheric burden of sulfur compounds, but by A.D. 2000 he will be contributing about as much, and in the Northern Hemisphere alone he is more than matching nature.

Pyrite: Its Rapid Formation in a Salt Marsh and Its Importance In Ecosystem Metabolism

TL;DR: Pyrite formation in salt-marsh peat occurs more rapidly than is generally thought for any natural system, and the rates of sulfate reduction and ecosystem respiration may be grossly underestimated.

Rock and mineral analysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an up-to-date treatment of the problems associated with the analysis of geological materials, including the requesite steps from selection of the sample and choice of elements to the facilities needed, preparation of sample, methods for the determination of individual constituens and reporting of the results of the analysis.
