*New paper * by @EleniWood from her PhD in the Himalayas @OpenUniversity. Check it out for some Allanite geochronology and wonderful geochemical maps. If you’re wondering what this tells us about geodynamics in the Himalayas, that’s discussed as well! https://t.co/fcWwzNEIxT

the latest from @henrik_drake's group 👇👌
Reduction of geochemically mobile hexavalent uranium in deep anoxic aquifers is facilitated by bacteria-driven degradation of organic material and accumulation in calcite. https://t.co/ez9ZaYhrfF
