Emission spectroscopy of clay minerals and evidence for poorly crystalline aluminosilicates on Mars from Thermal Emission Spectrometer data
[1] To understand the aqueous history of Mars, it is critical to constrain the alteration mineralogy of the Martian surface. Previously published analyses of thermal infrared (l = 6–25 mm) remote sensing data of Mars suggest that dark regions have 15–20% clay minerals. However, near-infrared (l = 1–3 mm) spectral results generally do not identify widespread clay minerals. Thermal infrared detec...
متن کاملThermal Emission Spectroscopy of Zeolite Minerals
Introduction and background: Zeolite minerals are hydrated framework aluminosilicates common to altered volcanic and volcanoclastic rocks, and the soils derived from them [1]. The mineralogy, chemistry, textural context, and abundance of zeolites provides insight into chemical weathering, hydrothermal, and metamorphic processes on Earth, in a variety of climates and tectonic settings. Zeolites ...
متن کاملPre-earthquake signals – Part II: Flow of battery currents in the crust
When rocks are subjected to stress, dormant electronic charge carriers are activated. They turn the stressed rock volume into a battery, from where currents can flow out. The charge carriers are electrons and defect electrons, also known as positive holes or pholes for short. The boundary between stressed and unstressed rock acts as a potential barrier that lets pholes pass but blocks electrons...
متن کاملThe Accuracy of Derived Plagioclase Compositions from Multi-component, Multi-phase Sand Mixtures: Implications for Determining Martian Plagioclase Compositions
Introduction. Plagioclase feldspar has been identified as the dominant mineral phase in the martian crust [1-2] through analysis of Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) data. Martian meteorites , samples of isolated terrain on Mars, contain plagioclase in abundances secondary only to pyroxene. Terrestrial basalts and andesites contain primary plagioclase that is calcic-inter...
متن کاملExtraction of Mineral Alteration Anomaly Zone from Aster Data in Manzhouli, China
All sorts of anomaly graphs of physical geography and geochemistry, such as aeromagnetic anomaly graphs, bouguer gravity anomaly graphs, regional geochemical anomaly graphs and so on, are all parameters for exploration deposit. And following the remote sensing image shortwave and infrared bands coming, researchers of remote sense have engaged in many highly effective experiments and have approv...
