GeoSoilEnviroCARS: A National Resource for Earth, Planetary, Soil and Environmental Science Research at the Advanced Photon Source
This project partially supported GeoSoilEnviroCARS (GSECARS), a national user facility for frontier research in the earth sciences using synchrotron radiation at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), Argonne National Laboratory, and the foremost synchrotron-based facility dedicated to serving the needs of the geoscience community. The DOE-supported research advanced our knowledge of the composition, structure and properties of earth materials. Frontier experiments were conducted in research areas including mineral-water interface reactions, biogeochemical cycling, flow dynamics of fluids and solids, and projects relevant to applied programs. Examples of these experimental topics include oxygen diffusion in energy-relevant materials, interface structural studies of materials undergoing electrochemical reactions, biogeochemical reactions in aquifers and deep storage reservoirs, reactions in zero-valent iron reactive barriers, and uranium.
