Where is over 99% of the world’s gold hidden?

It’s actually deep underground locked away in the Earth’s metallic core. However, researchers at our Uni discovered traces of precious metals in volcanic rocks on the islands of Hawaii which must have come from the Earth’s core: uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html. Their data shows material from the core, including gold and other precious metals, is leaking into the Earth’s mantle above.

Aqueous #geochemistry this semester! We've moved from simple fluid-mineral equilibria to more complex models. As a teaching tool, I developed with help of our Uni's IT folks, an online portal to #USGS model software, WEB-PHREEQ. Anyone can use this.

Of course the students download the more capable desktop version for their projects (also, yes, I know there are more advanced portals out there). #geology

Happy birthday to #geochemist Charles David Keeling (1928 - 2005) whose decades long observations of CO2 in air samples from Mauna Loa Observatory were some of the 1st direct data to show the human contribution to greenhouse effect & global warming. The ‘Keeling Curve’ (in copper & red) shows both the seasonal variations (the wiggles) & the strong upward trend with time as the greenhouse gas built up in the atmosphere. 🧵
