The use of chromium reduction in the analysis of reduced inorganic sulfur in sediments and shales

TLDR
In this article, a chromium reduction method was used for the determination of reduced inorganic sulfur compounds (pyrite + elemental sulfur + acid volatile monosulfides) in modern sediments and shales.

Denitrification in a hypersaline lake-aquifer system (Pétrola Basin, Central Spain): the role of recent organic matter and Cretaceous organic rich sediments.

TL;DR: Tritium data suggest that the absence of NO3(-) in the deepest zones of the aquifer under the lake can be attributed to a regional groundwater flow with long residence time, which can play an important role in the transport of chemical species that can be related to denitrification processes.

Groundwater Flow and Geochemistry in the Southeastern San Juan Basin: Implications for Microbial Transport and Activity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterized the microbiology and hydrogeology of a Late Cretaceous sandstone and shale sequence in the southeastern San Juan Basin New Mexico, near a 3.39 Ma volcanic intrusion.

A lamina-scale geochemical and sedimentological study of sediments from the Peru Margin (Site 680, ODP Leg 112)

TL;DR: In this article, carbon isotopic and pyrolysis-GCMS analyses suggest that the organic matter is derived mainly from a marine algal and/or bacterial input, which may reflect variations in primary productivity.

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.
