My first peer-reviewed paper is out from my MSc work on serpentinization and open access! This project was so much fun, went to some beautiful places, and I met and worked with so many great people! @JamieCutts_Geo @ConnorTurvey @carbmin @UBCeoas

After ten years of successfully applying Carbfix, we are set to significantly scale up operations.🚀
Our solution can not only be applied in Iceland but anywhere where there is access to water and suitable rock formations.

There were at least 3 serpentinization stages and 2 carbonate alteration stages that occurred in these ultramafic rocks - and brucite and awaruite (and other minerals) formed at different times! Check out this schematic -> (5/5)

Another mineral is awaruite - that is economically attractive for #nickel mining. @FPX_Nickel has done a lot of work on this mineral! When found with brucite, the mine tailings can sequester carbon, possibly making the mine carbon neutral! (4/5)

@AndreasenJack This is huge🤩

Serpentinite blocks in sheared serpentinite matrix: Yakuno ophiolite

[Katrin Steinthorsdottir @KatrinSteinth]

Last week I had the opportunity to present on @Carbfix and lead project work at a short course in El Salvador on the future of geothermal energy utilization in Latin America.
So great to meet the other participants, learn about geothermal energy development and discuss!

Using this excuse to post a pic of some beautiful #lizardite mesh texture (light grey texture in the middle) from a serpentinite in British Columbia that I'm currently working on😍

If climate change keeps you up at night, and you don’t know how to make a difference, here is a list of actions that will be more impactful than you might expect. A long but essential thread.

It was always said that if climate change got bad enough that it was showing up frequently in extreme weather, we'd be in a bad place. Folks, we're in the bad place.

Það er erfitt að átta sig á stærðunum, en hraunbreiðan virðist dreifast margfalt hraðar út en sú í Geldingadölum fyrsta daginn þar. Strókarnir eru einnig margfalt fleiri en þá og krafturinn miklu meiri. Þetta virðist mun stærra gos að öllu leyti

So fun to be on the @KidsSolve podcast chatting about @CarbFix and how CO2 mineralization works💎

[Carbfix @CarbFix]

We are taking direct air capture and mineral storage to the next level with @Climeworks and ON power!🌏
Mammoth, the new DAC plant at Hellisheiði, Iceland, will bring a tenfold increase to the current CO2 capture and storage capacity at the site. https://t.co/JHPQriC0ZM

Grein um @CarbFix fyrir krakka á íslensku💎

[Sandra Snæbjörnsdóttir @sandrasnaebj]

Í fyrra birtum við @KatrinSteinth, Selja og @karigeimfari vísindagrein í vísindatímariti fyrir krakka sem er ritrýnt af krökkum. Nú er búið að þýða og staðfæra svo íslenskumælandi krakkar geti lesið um hvernig hægt er að breyta CO2 í stein @Carbfix 💎

@tsunamiresearch Ah too bad! Yes next time!

[Katrin Steinthorsdottir @KatrinSteinth]

@CalamitaMan Ohh why are they so fabulous💅

[Katrin Steinthorsdottir @KatrinSteinth]

@tsunamiresearch Let me know if you need recommendations :)
