Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chemical interaction of water and rock is one of the most fascinating an d multifaceted process in geology. The composition of surface water and groundwater is largely controlled by the reaction of water with rocks and minerals. At elevated temperature, hydrothermal features, hydrothermal 0 re deposits and geothermal fields are associated with chemical effects of water-rock interaction. Surface outcrops of rocks from deeper levels in the crust, including exposures of lower crustal and mantle rocks, often display structures that formed by interaction of the rocks with a supercritical aqueous fluid at very high pT conditions. Understanding water-rock interaction is also of great importance to applied geology and geochemistry, particularly in areas such as geothermal energy, nuclear waste repositories and applied hydrogeology. The extremely wide-ranging research efforts on the universal water-rock interaction process is reflected in the wide diversity of themes presented at the regular International Symposia on Water-Rock Interaction (WRI). Because of the large and widespread interest in water-rock interaction, the European Union of Geosciences organized a special symposium on "water-rock interaction" at EUGI0, the biannual meeting in Strasbourg 1999 convened by the editors of this volume. In contrast to the regular WRI symposia addressed to the specialists, the EUG 10 "water-rock interaction" symposium brought the subject to a general platform This very successful symposium showed the way to the future of water-rock reaction research.

Download or read book Dating and Duration of Fluid Flow and Fluid rock Interaction written by John Parnell and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 1998 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluid flow is fundamental to many geological processes, including the development of natural resources of hydrocarbons, ore deposits and water. Modelling of these processes requires information on the timing of fluid flow events and the interaction of fluids with surrounding rocks. In addition to isotopic methods, a diversity of approaches has been developed to assess the timing of events, including palaeomagnetism, fission track analysis and fluid inclusion studies. Many techniques also provide information on the duration of fluid flow events. The papers in this volume represent the range of approaches available to determine the dating and duration of fluid flow events and fluid-rock interaction: first overview of methods of dating fluid flow; examples of commercial application of dating methods; explanations of methodology suitable for advanced teaching; extensive bibliographies.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifth volume in this series is focused on the chemical and physical interactions between rocks undergoing metamorphism and the fluids that they generate and that pass through them. The recognition that such pro cesses can profoundly affect the course of metamorphism has resulted in a number of recent papers and we consider that it is time for a review by some of the interested parties. We hope our selection of contributors provides an adequate cross section and demonstrates some of the flavor of this rapidly developing field. A cursory examination of the volume will reveal that there are widely divergent opinions on the compositions of metamorphic fluids and on the ways in which they interact physically and chemically with the rocks through which they pass. Since our own views are extensively discussed in Chapters 4 and 8, we leave the reader to determine his own brand of the "truth. " We wish to thank D. Bird, S. Bohlen, D. Carmichael, G. Flowers, C. Foster, C. Graham, E. Perry, J. Selverstone, R. Tracy, J. Valley, and R. Wollast for their chapter reviews. Thanks are also due C. Cheverton for her editorial assistance, and the helpful staff at Springer-Verlag New York.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to describe the lithology, and to present spatially resolved geochemical analyses of samples, from the hydrothermally altered Iceland Deep Drilling Project (IDDP) core RN-17B and the hydrothermally altered Long Valley Caldera core BC12-31. The 9.3 m long RN 17B core was collected from the seawater-dominated Reykjanes geothermal system, located on the Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland. The core was recovered from a vertical depth of ~ 2,560 m and an in-situ temperature of ~ 340°C. The primary lithologies observed in the RN-17B core are basaltic in composition and include: hyaloclastite breccia, fine-grained volcanic sand, lithic breccia, and crystalline basalt. The lithologies have undergone pervasive amphibolite-grade hydrothermal metamorphism, however alteration intensity is variable and is controlled by protolith composition and permeability. Original textures, including hyaloclastite glass shards, lithic clasts, chilled margins, and assumedly marine shell-fragment molds are superbly preserved despite the high metamorphic grade. The recovery of drill core as opposed to drill cuttings has provided the opportunity to investigate the evolution of the Reykjanes geothermal system by utilizing in-situ geochemical techniques in the context of observed paragenetic and spatial relationships of alteration minerals. The following in-situ geochemical techniques were performed on samples from the RN-17B core: 1) electron microprobe analyses of vein epidote, hydrothermal hornblende, and altered relict igneous plagioclase; 2) homogenization temperature and freezing point depression measurements of fluid inclusions hosted in epidote veins; and 3) strontium isotope ratio (87Sr/86Sr) measurements of vein epidote using laser ablation multi collector ICP-MS (LA-ICP-MS). In-situ geochemical analyses of alteration minerals from the RN-17B core reveal that temperature, permeability, and fluid composition have evolved over time in the active Reykjanes geothermal system. At the depth of the RN-17B core, the Reykjanes geothermal system bares many similarities to shallow seafloor hydrothermal systems, although there are subtle differences. The Long Valley geothermal system is located in eastern California and occurs within the ca. 0.76 My old Long Valley Caldera. This volcanic complex has been periodically active since about 4 Mya, and provides the heat that sustains the geothermal system. However, the nature of the flow regime of geothermal waters and the relationship to the magmatic heat source remain unclear. The main geothermal reservoir is a relatively shallow hydrological system that is believed to upwell in the western portion of the caldera and flow eastward. Additional hot upflow zones focused by faults along the flow path may sustain shallow temperatures (Sorey et al, 1991), or a Megabreccia unit may provide physical isolation of a more widespread shallow, hot flow regime from cooler waters below (Suemnicht et al., 2007). The purpose of the research reported here was to utilize geochemical proxies for temperature, fluid composition, and fluid-rock interaction to evaluate the effectiveness of the Megabreccia unit as a flow barrier. Results from microthermometric measurements of fluid inclusions hosted in carbonate veins, stable oxygen and carbon isotope analyses of carbonate veins, and major element chemistry of chlorite and illite determined by electron microprobe show that the Megabreccia unit has experienced a complex recrystallization and alteration history. This history resulted in substantial loss of permeability and supports the hypothesis that the Megabreccia unit is likely a hydrological barrier.

Download or read book Metasomatism and the Chemical Transformation of Rock written by Daniel Harlov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-14 with total page 804 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluid-aided mass transfer and subsequent mineral re-equilibration are the two defining features of metasomatism and must be present in order for metamorphism to occur. Coupled with igneous and tectonic processes, metasomatism has played a major role in the formation of the Earth’s continental and oceanic crust and lithospheric mantle as well as in their evolution and subsequent stabilization. Metasomatic processes can include ore mineralization, metasomatically induced alteration of oceanic lithosphere, mass transport in and alteration of subducted oceanic crust and overlying mantle wedge, which has subsequent implications regarding mass transport, fluid flow, and volatile storage in the lithospheric mantle overall, as well as both regional and localized crustal metamorphism. Metasomatic alteration of accessory minerals such as zircon or monazite can allow for the dating of metasomatic events as well as give additional information regarding the chemistry of the fluids responsible. Lastly present day movement of fluids in both the lithospheric mantle and deep to mid crust can be observed utilizing geophysical resources such as electrical resistivity and seismic data. Such observations help to further clarify the picture of actual metasomatic processes as inferred from basic petrographic, mineralogical, and geochemical data. The goal of this volume is to bring together a diverse group of geologists, each of whose specialities and long range experience regarding one or more aspects of metasomatism during geologic processes, should allow them to contribute to a series of review chapters, which outline the basis of our current understanding of how metasomatism influences and helps to control both the evolution and stability of the crust and lithospheric mantle.

Download or read book Reactive transport modeling of fluid rock interactions associated with carbonate diagenesis and implications for reservoir quality prediction written by Ying Xiong and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2022-07-26 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diagenesis research is the foundation of hydrocarbon reservoir characterization and exploration. Reactive transport modeling (RTM) is an emerging approach for diagenesis research, with unique capability of quantification and forward modeling of the coupled thermo-hydro-chemical processes of diagenesis. Using TOUGHREACT simulator, this thesis investigates the two most important fluid-rock interactions in carbonate rocks, i.e., dolomitization and karstification, based on generic model analyses and a case study in the Ordos Basin, China. In particular, this study attempts to quantitatively characterize the diagenetic processes and to reconstruct the diagenesis-porosity evolution of carbonate reservoirs. Some controversies in carbonate diagenesis research, which cannot be well explained by classical geological methods, have also been discussed. The results are helpful to better understand the spatial-temporal distribution and co-evolution of diagenesis-mineral-porosity during the complicated diagenetic processes with their potential controlling factors, and to reduce the uncertainty of reservoir quality prediction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia is a complete and authoritative reference work for this rapidly evolving field. Over 200 international scientists, each experts in their specialties, have written over 330 separate topics on different aspects of geochemistry including geochemical thermodynamics and kinetics, isotope and organic geochemistry, meteorites and cosmochemistry, the carbon cycle and climate, trace elements, geochemistry of high and low temperature processes, and ore deposition, to name just a few. The geochemical behavior of the elements is described as is the state of the art in analytical geochemistry. Each topic incorporates cross-referencing to related articles, and also has its own reference list to lead the reader to the essential articles within the published literature. The entries are arranged alphabetically, for easy access, and the subject and citation indices are comprehensive and extensive. Geochemistry applies chemical techniques and approaches to understanding the Earth and how it works. It touches upon almost every aspect of earth science, ranging from applied topics such as the search for energy and mineral resources, environmental pollution, and climate change to more basic questions such as the Earth’s origin and composition, the origin and evolution of life, rock weathering and metamorphism, and the pattern of ocean and mantle circulation. Geochemistry allows us to assign absolute ages to events in Earth’s history, to trace the flow of ocean water both now and in the past, trace sediments into subduction zones and arc volcanoes, and trace petroleum to its source rock and ultimately the environment in which it formed. The earliest of evidence of life is chemical and isotopic traces, not fossils, preserved in rocks. Geochemistry has allowed us to unravel the history of the ice ages and thereby deduce their cause. Geochemistry allows us to determine the swings in Earth’s surface temperatures during the ice ages, determine the temperatures and pressures at which rocks have been metamorphosed, and the rates at which ancient magma chambers cooled and crystallized. The field has grown rapidly more sophisticated, in both analytical techniques that can determine elemental concentrations or isotope ratios with exquisite precision and in computational modeling on scales ranging from atomic to planetary.
