Geology and sediment geochemistry of a landfill leachate contaminated aquifer (Grindsted, Denmark)

TL;DR: In this paper, a landfill leachate affected aquifer was investigated with respect to the geology and sediment geochemistry (solid organic carbon, cation exchange capacity, oxidation capacity, reduced iron and sulfur species) involving 185 sediment samples taken along a 305m-long and 10-12m-deep transect downgradient from the landfill.

Origin of stratiform sediment-hosted manganese carbonate ore deposits: Examples from Molango, Mexico, and TaoJiang, China

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that carbonate and sulfide minerals from the Molango and TaoJiang carbonate horizons of Mexico and China exhibit similar and distinctive δ34S and δ13C patterns in intervals of manganese carbonate mineralization.

Reduced sulfur and iron species in anoxic water column of meromictic crater Lake Pavin (Massif Central, France)

TL;DR: In this article, the vertical distribution of reduced sulfur species (RSS including H 2 S/HS −, S 0, electroactive FeS) and dissolved Fe(II) was studied in the anoxic water column of meromictic Lake Pavin.

Paleoredox, biotic and sulfur-isotopic changes associated with the end-Permian mass extinction in the western Tethys

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of the Permian-Triassic boundary beds at the Bulla section, northern Italy, suggests that marine waters at this site saw the influx of two dysoxic-euxinic intervals that mark the end-Permian extinction event.

Iron and sulphur isotopes from the Carajas mining province (Para, Brazil) : implications for the oxidation of the ocean and the atmosphere across the Archaean-Proterozoic transition

TL;DR: In this article, major and trace element geochemistry combined with iron and sulfur isotopes were applied to banded iron formations (BIFs) and pyrite-bearing sandstones from the Carajas mineral province, Brazil.

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.
