Dr. Sebastien Kerisit from Pacific Northwest National Lab will present a seminar entitled, "Molecular Mechanisms of Reactivity at Mineral-Water Interfaces." Host: David Dixon Abstract: This seminar will showcase examples of on-going research in the Geochemistry Group at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory focused on determining the molecular mechanisms responsible for mineral nucleation and growth in geochemical environments. As a first example, the heteroepitaxial nucleation and growth of metal carbonate minerals will be discussed. Mineral surfaces serve as substrates for heterogeneous nucleation in [...]
