Experimental mineralogical replacement to investigate the role of texture on interface morphology, reaction kinetics and pore-scale transport during metasomatism

Dolomitization is a key diagenetic process that reorganizes porosity and permeability in carbonate rocks, yet the coupling between interface kinetics and transport heterogeneity remains poorly constrained. We performed time-resolved hydrothermal dolomitization (metasomatism) expe...

Examples of counterexamples: a book conspectus

A counterexample is any exception to a generalization. Counterexamples are often used in science (and philosophy), as a means to setting boundaries. In mathematics at large, well-chosen counterexamples may bound possible theorems, disprove certain conjectures. Recent breakthrough...
