Perchlorate and Agriculture on Mars Open
Perchlorate (ClO4−) is globally enriched in Martian regolith at levels commonly toxic to plants. Consequently, perchlorate in Martian regolith presents an obstacle to developing agriculture on Mars. Here, we assess the effect of perchlorat…

Use Of Olivine For The Production Of MgO-SiO2 Binders Open
The potential for using MgO and SiO 2 , recovered from olivine, was investigated for use as a cementitious binder system. The MgO to SiO 2 proportion for the binder was fixed at 1:1. The nature of the hydration products were characterized …

Potassium and Metal Release Related to Glaucony Dissolution in Soils Open
Plant nutrients such as potassium (K) may be limited in soil systems and additions (i.e., fertilizer) are commonly required. Glaucony is a widely distributed and abundant marine-derived clay mineral present in soils worldwide which may ser…

Occurrence and cycling of trace elements in ultramafic soils and their impacts on human health: A critical review Open
The transformation of trace metals (TMs) in natural environmental systems has created significant concerns in recent decades. Ultramafic environments lead to potential risks to the agricultural products and, subsequently, to human health. …

Constructing Mars: Concrete and Energy Production From Serpentinization Products Open
In situ building materials and energy resources are necessary for the long‐term human habitation of Mars. Olivine ((Mg,Fe) 2 SiO 4 ) is a regionally abundant mineral on Mars and may potentially serve both purposes. Here we assess olivine h…
