Silicon and aluminum are ubiquitous in Earth?s crust. They are often associated with organic matter in high concentrations, as in petroleum source and reservoir rocks, and in low concentrations, as…

Atomic-level investigations of thermal spring deposits: S-NMR of natural siliceous sinters

Lead Institution

University of Montana

Principal Investigator

Nancy Hinman

Project type

Capability Research

We propose a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of naturally occurring silica minerals and experimentally produced solids to examine the ultrastructure of silica minerals in hydrothermal systems…

Solid-State 29Si{27Al} TRAPDOR-MAS and CP-MAS 29Si NMR Experiments on the Atomic Structural Environments of Aluminum and Silicon in Siliceous Sinters

Lead Institution

University of Montana

Principal Investigator

Nancy Hinman

Project type

Limited Scope

This study proposes to accumulate preliminary data documenting the atomic environment of silicon in thermal spring deposits. These 'siliceous sinters' form at low temperatures (30 to 105 C)…

Physical properties of natural siliceous sinters from thermal springs

Lead Institution

University of Montana

Principal Investigator

Nancy Hinman

Project type

Exploratory Research

We propose a study of physical properties of naturally occurring silica minerals to examine the ultrastructure of silica minerals in hydrothermal systems. Our work also will include a study of the…

Detection of low levels of organic compounds associated with microbially influenced minerals

Lead Institution

University of Montana

Principal Investigator

Nancy Hinman

Project type

Limited Scope

One of the challenges facing subsurface science is detection of paired information about microbial communities and associated minerals. One way to map microbial communities is through detection of…
