Microbial diversity, complexity, and dynamics within a ‘grass-to-glass’ profile at a late iron age archaeological site, and as a function of climatic variables

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Carolyn Pearce

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

We propose to systematically analyze the microbial consortia that are enriched on rock surfaces as a function of depth through a ‘grass-to-glass’ profile using samples obtained during the excavation…

Investigating microbial interactions with glass and mineral surfaces: do microbes serve a protective or destructive role in long-term material durability within the biogeosphere?

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Andrew Plymale

Microbes are ubiquitous in the terrestrial surface and have mastered the art of establishing equilibrium in their localized environment. Samples obtained during an excavation of Broborg, an ancient…

Understanding the Effects of the Addition of Supplemental Inorganic Sequestering Materials to Inhibit the Release of Radionuclides from Cementitious Waste Forms with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Investigation of Ion Exchange and Its Impact on Radionuclide Release and Surface Reactivity in Glass Waste Forms

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Charmayne Lonergan

Due to the long lifetimes of radionuclide species found in nuclear waste, the vitrified waste forms need to retain all hazardous species for thousands of years. With the current inability to…
