Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Abstract The Alpine Triassic units of Switzerland, Northern Italy and Western Austria offer an
extensive geological archive, in which the enigmatic process of dolomite formation can be …

This chapter focuses almost exclusively on marine evaporites and in particular on how the
chemistry of seawater is reflected in the mineralogy and facies distribution of deposits in …

Microbial mediation is the only demonstrated mechanism to precipitate dolomite under Earth
surface conditions. A link between microbial activity and dolomite formation in the sabkha of …

Rare earth elements (REE) concentrations of Archean and Proterozoic chemical sediments
are commonly used as proxies to study secular trends in the geochemistry of Precambrian …

Muddy coasts with burrows are widespread globally and most contain brine in underground
aquifers. Salt evaporated on a tidal flat surface is an important source of shallow …

Earliest marine diagenetic sabkha type dolomites are widespread in Earth's geological
record. Potentially, these carbonates may act as archives of past seawater magnesium …

Direct studies of recent epeiric seawater chemistry and their geological significance are
relatively few compared to the far more abundant studies from ancient epeiric marine …

Terra Nova, 24, 248–254, 2012 Abstract The study of microbe‐mineral interactions and the
identification of biominerals in sedimentary rocks provide crucial information on the …

The distributions of sediment grain types and microfacies in two outcrop sections in the
central part of the Zagros Fold and Thrust Belt, Iran, are used to interpret changes in salinity …
