Acceleration of dolomitization by zinc in saline waters (2019)
Journal Article
Vandeginste, V., Snell, O., Hall, M. R., Steer, E., & Vandeginste, A. (2019). Acceleration of dolomitization by zinc in saline waters. Nature Communications, 10, Article 1851. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-09870-y

Dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2) plays a key role in the global carbon cycle. Yet, the chemical mechanisms that catalyze its formation remain an enigma. Here, using batch reactor experiments, we demonstrate an unexpected acceleration of dolomite formation by zi... Read More about Acceleration of dolomitization by zinc in saline waters.

Frost heave in freezing soils: a quasi-static model for ice lens growth (2018)
Journal Article
Ji, Y., Zhou, G., Zhou, Y., & Vandeginste, V. (2019). Frost heave in freezing soils: a quasi-static model for ice lens growth. Cold Regions Science and Technology, 158, 10-17. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coldregions.2018.11.003

Frost heave can have a very destructive impact on infrastructure in permafrost regions. The complexity of nanoscale ice-mineral interactions and their relation to the macroscale frost heave phenomenon make ice lens growth modeling an interesting but...
