Iron and sulfate reduction in the sediments of acidic mine lake 116 (Brandenburg, Germany): Rates and geochemical evaluation
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of rate measurements of iron(III)oxide and sulfate reduction, thermodynamic data, and pore-water and solid phase analyses was used to evaluate the relative significance of iron reduction in the sediments of an acidic strip mining lake (Lake 116, Brandenburg, Germany).

The weathering of sedimentary organic matter as a control on atmospheric O2: I. Analysis of a black shale
Richard A. Wildman,Robert A. Berner,S. T. Petsch,Edward W. Bolton,James O. Eckert,Ulrich Mok,J Brian Evans +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a drill core of black shale from the Upper Devonian (Upper Devonian, Clay City, KY) has been analyzed for total and organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur and for porosity, permeability and specific surface area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methane Migration and Its Influence on Sulfate Reduction in the Good Weather Ridge Region, South China Sea Continental Margin Sediments
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of methane migration on the sulfate reduction process in continental margin sediments offshore southwestern Taiwan was investigated, where Piston and gravity core samples were taken in order to evaluate vertical and spatial variations of sulfate and methane.

Aqueous- and Solid-Phase Biogeochemistry of a Calcareous Aquifer System Downgradient from a Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (Winterthur, Switzerland)
TL;DR: In this paper, the STEADYQL computer program has been used to model the biogeochemical processes by taking into account the kinetics of the redox reactions, calcite precipitation and dilution.

Redox conditions across the G–L boundary in South China: Evidence from pyrite morphology and sulfur isotopic compositions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive study including pyrite morphology and sulfur isotopic compositions across the Guadalupian-Lopingian (middle-upper Permian; G-L) boundary at Tianfengping in northern Yangtze Platform and at Penglaitan in southern Yangtse Platform in South China.

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.

Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Book
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.
