Weathering-induced fracturing (WIF) has been posited to be a mechanism that develops secondary porosity when mineral reaction fronts separate over depth intervals in regolith, and, in particular, when...

For more information on the published version, visit Science Direct's Website., The surface of Europa displays numerous generations of intersecting arrays of linear ridges. At some locations along these ridges, older ridges on...
Two competing models exist for the formation of the Pennsylvania salient, a widely studied area of pronounced curvature in the Appalachian mountain belt. The viability of these models can be tested by compiling and analyzing...
Basaltic bedrock dissolves quickly, and its weathering rate is therefore important towards controlling the composition of natural waters, soil formation, and CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. Despite its importance,...
We present a kinematic model for the sequential development of the Appalachian fold-thrust belt (eastern U.S.) across a classic transect through the Pennsylvania salient. New map and strain data are used to create a balanced...

For the first time, we show that rind thicknesses developed on surfaces of a clast with different values of curvature can be used to estimate the duration of clast weathering. To obtain an analytical...
