The recognition of past habitable environments on Mars has increased the urgency to
understand biosignature preservation in and characterize analogues of these environments …

Carbonate build-ups in lakes, hydrothermal and fluvial settings are characterized by
distinctive geometry, spatial distribution, fabrics and geochemical signature but also by …

Abstract The~ 2800 Ma Mosher Carbonate Formation at Steep Rock Lake in south central
Canada is one of Earth's oldest limestone deposits. It is both thick (up to 500 m) and …

Based on four decades of research by Professor Andrew Goudie, this volume provides a
state-of-the-art synthesis of our understanding of desert geomorphology. It presents a truly …

Abstract The Eocene Green River Formation represents a system of lakes that covered parts
of what is now Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah, and captures the Early Eocene Climatic …

Microbial mats are complex ecological assemblages that have been present in the rock
record since the Precambrian and can still be found in extant marginalized environments …

Cenozoic climate cooling at the advent of the Eocene-Oligocene transition (EOT),~ 33.7 Ma

Despite extensive research, the environmental and temporal significance of microbial
lamination is still ambiguous because of the complexity of the parameters that control its …

The significance of stromatolites as depositional environmental indicators and the
underlying causes of lamination in the lacustrine realm are poorly understood. Stromatolites …

Lacustrine stromatolites serve as important archives for recording environmental changes,
