Glendonites are altered forms of carbonate crystals formed from another mineral called ikaite. What is fascinating is that glendonites have never been reported from this specific time interval before, ...
I am an experimental mineralogist, highly experienced in crystallisation and environmental geochemistry. My research focuses on mineral genesis and the interaction of aqueous species with mineral ...
They are primarily made of the cold carbonate mineral ikaite (CaCO3•6H2O). This mineral is only stable up to around 6 degree C above which it will alter into other minerals and perhaps cause collapse ...
Petrography of recrystallised ikaite from Ocean Drilling Program material has been presented previously from Nankai Trough and Congo (ex-Zaire) deep-sea fan. This paper expands on the Nankai Trough ...
The ikaite columns in the Ikka Fjord, SW Greenland, represent a permanently cold and alkaline environment known to contain a rich bacterial diversity. 16S and 18S rRNA gene amplicon and metagenomic ...
The identified enzymes (submitted to NCBI) were codon optimized for heterologous expression in E. coli. The codon optimized nucleotide sequences can be found in this repository under the ...
The committee seems not to be capable. As labour, we are done with negotiation and engagement with the government from the time of Ikaite, as SGF, Kingibe, Pius Ayim, and Boss Mustapha,” Ajaero ...
The academics, from Heriot-Watt’s School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, are confident the mineral ikaite, which is rich in calcium and can be made from common limestone, could be ...
But scientists from the University's School of Engineering & Physical Sciences, believe a rare mineral known as ikaite, could hold the key to unlocking the oceans true potential for carbon storage.
At the Pueblo Gem & Mineral Show, Graeme Dowton of Red Earth Opal (White Cliffs, Australia) exhibited rare double pseudomorph ikaite-calcite-opal gem specimens mined from the Naatji Nest mine at White ...
