Influence of Mineralogy and Geological Setting on Trace Metal Concentration within Subtropical Weathered Profiles, Bells Creek Catchment, Queensland, Australia
The effects of mineralogy and geological setting on trace metal concentration and distribution within six weathered profiles developed sandstone and mudstone was assessed. Primary minerals occurring in the weathered profiles are quartz, plagioclase, and K-feldspar. Kaolinite is the most dominant secondary mineral followed by mixed layers of smectite-illite, illite, hematite, siderite, and occas...
متن کاملSedimentology, mineralogy and sedimentary geochemistry of the Late Quaternary sedimentary sequence of Gavkhoni Playa by looking at the paleoclimate
The sediments of the Playa Lake are sensitive indicators of local climates that any change in climate, hydrology, and sedimentary environment will cause changes in the physical and chemical properties of the sediments. These sediments create a valuable and important archive with high resolution to examine these changes in the past. One method of studying climate change during quaternary and oft...
متن کاملMineralogy and Geochemistry of Sand Dunes of the Southern Coast of the Caspian Sea
Babolsar eastern coastal dunes have been developed along the southern coast of the Caspian Sea. The studied area is coordinated in N36°43' to N36°44' latitude and E52°44' to E52°52' longitude. The objectives of this research were to: Study mineralogy and geochemistry of sand dunes, to obtain chemical alteration index (CIA) and its relationship to climate and mineralogy, to de...
متن کاملPetrography and Geochemistry of Quaternary travertines in the Ab-Ask region, Mazandaran Province- Iran
The travertine deposit springs are located on the southeast of the Damavand Volcano, 85 km northeast of Tehran Province. The deposits of these springs mainly outcropped with cascade, hill, conical, layered, calcareous Tufa and Fissure-Ridges morphologies. Travertine studies have usually been conducted based on field observations, geochemistry and hydrology. The tectonic activity of the region, ...
متن کاملModelling the Potential of Integrated Vegetation Bands (IVB) to Retain Stormwater Runoff on Steep Hillslopes of Southeast Queensland, Australia
Rainfall intensity is predicted to increase under a changing climate, leading to increased risks of hillslope erosion, downstream sedimentation and flooding. For many catchments used for grazing and agricultural land uses, it will become increasingly important to maintain ecohydrological functioning despite climatic extremes. One means to achieve this is through strategic reforestation using lo...
