Our understanding of calcium carbonate precipitation within freshwater carbonate systems is being revolutionized by new quantitative approaches at both field and laboratory scale. This volume will provide a cross-disciplinary platform that will stimulate further exchanges about …
The main features of the geologic history of Asia during the Cenozoic are the growth of the Tibetan Plateau and widespread aridification of mid-latitude Asia, which developed as global climate was experiencing a cooling trend from a Hothouse to an Icehouse state. The interplay b…
In this dissertation, the origins of Fe-carbonates in the Paleoproterozoic Gunflint Formation of Ontario, Canada are investigated through petrographic and isotopic analysis of carbonate-rich Gunflint samples as well as experiments designed to elucidate the chemical conditions th…
In the Melilla basin of northeastern Morocco a Tortonian-to-Messinian sequence of sedimentary rocks, principally carbonates, has been studied in detail over an area of 30 km\sp2. This succession includes a dramatically exposed shallow-marine carbonate complex. From bottom to top…
