Hungarian researchers have discovered unique bacterial communities in thermal waters that may help unravel the development of ...

"This is one of the first demonstrations of microbial dissolution of calcium carbonate at a higher pH," said Karrie Weber, professor of biological sciences and Earth and atmospheric sciences.

MEASUREMENT of the primary porosity of massive limestone gives little indication of the rate of underground movement, which takes place largely along joints and bedding planes. There is also the ...

A research team has shown that methanogens, micro-organisms ubiquitous in low-oxygen environments like aquifers, soil and even permafrost, can propel their growth by dissolving calcium carbonate ...
