   Abstract : While public environmental law, regulation and governance have paved the traditional road towards environmental and natural resource protection, the pathway has been expanded to include a broader orbit of interest areas and regulatory tools in an effort to achieve sustainability. Through the lens of comparative law and policy, this thesis evaluates one such expansion of environmental law—attempts to further environmental interests through public procurement in the European Union (EU) and United States (U.

6. 4. Low temperature olivine alteration ; an experimental approach

   Author : Anna Neubeck; Nils Holm; Gretchen Früh-Green; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : Olivine alteration; hydrogen; methane; serpentinization; geokemi; Geochemistry;

   Abstract : Water reacting with minerals to alter or dissolve them is a common phenomenon on Earth, leading to a unique chemical composition of the oceans and continents. The continuous circulation of elements and the chemical reactions between them creates the extraordinary environment prevailing on our Earth today and was probably an important requirement for the onset of life on our planet.
