e-SPRESSO Webinar: From Soil to Space: Solid Density Measurements of Geological Samples
Skeletal density of geological samples - soil, shale, sediment, and rock – aids in determining the mineralogy, purity, and porosity of these materials. Specifically:
-Sediment samples: density values help researchers understand how sediment behaves and where it will settle based on its weight and the forces acting upon because they provide crucial information about composition and deposition, impacting factors like sediment transport, settling velocity, erosion patterns, and the stability of the seabed, when studying marine environments or river systems.
-Rock samples: Similarly, density values of rocks, including those that originate in outer space (e.g., meteorite samples), provide information on the composition of the material to better understand its origin and the properties of metal inclusions such as their heat capacity, conductivity, and thermal diffusivity.
Gas pycnometry for these types of samples is a valuable tool because it can accommodate a range of sample sizes, while leaving the sample intact and able to undergo further study for other relevant parameters.
This webinar will discuss the basics of gas pycnometry and how this was used to analyze a variety of geological samples, and how this information has aided scientists and researchers.
