In one-dimensional (1D) early diagenetic models, bioirrigation is typically represented by a nonlocal mass transfer or bioirrigation coefficient, . Usually, all pore water species are assigned the same . Here, we show that this assumption can lead to significant errors in estimates of bioirrigation intensities. Using a simplified early diagenetic reaction network, we compute the 3D concentratio...

The long-term goal of this project is to develop multicomponent reactive transport models that can be used to accurately describe solute transport in temporally and spatially heterogeneous, organic-rich sediments. To achieve this goal, we have developed a model that can be used to obtain unbiased 1D quantitative descriptions of biologically-enhanced solute transport (bioirrigation due to macrof...

During deposition of Precambrian iron formation, the combined sedimentation of ferrihydrite and phytoplankton biomass should have facilitated Fe(III) reduction during diagenesis. However, the only evidence for this reaction in iron formations is the iron and carbon isotope values preserved in the authigenic ferrous iron-containing minerals. Here we show experimentally that spheroidal siderite, ...

The Russian Arctic region is lacking in studies on geochemical changes reflecting early sediment diagenesis lake environments. paper presents new data the compositions of bottom sediments and pore water from two lakes Norilo–Pyasinskaya system Siberia. Lakes Pyasino Melkoye occupy basins left by glaciers that originated Putorana Plateau during Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Clayey were continuousl...

The material properties of sedimentary rocks are controlled by a range of parameters, including grain size, sorting, and modification of the original sediment through the diagenetic processes of compaction and cementation. To isolate the effects of diagenesis, and explore how they modify permeability, we quantified changes in grain and pore morphology accompanying progressive diagenesis of a si...
