نقش کانیشناسی در مناطق متأثر از تراوشهای طبیعی شور اسیدی، جنوب غربی استرالیا
The study of morphological and mineralogical changes within a natural acid saline seep affected landscape revealed that seasonal differences in surface mineralogy, reflecting the operation of sulfidization and oxidative sulfide weathering processes. During the wet season, the surface and near surface of the waterlogged seep and marsh areas is dominated by black sulfidic materials (pyrite) and m...

Acid sulfate soils in Western Australia commonly occur in coastal regions. One of the greatest threats to coastal environment is the disturbance of acid sulfate soils due to urban development which can lead to widespread acidification of lands and streams and subsequent economic losses onsite or in adjacent areas. Surface sampling from different landforms of the study area and analytical result...
متن کاملAqueous Alteration in Martian Meteorites: Comparing Mineral Relations in Igneous-rock Weathering of Martian Meteorites and in the Sedimentary Cycle of Mars
Many of the minerals observed or inferred to occur in the sediments and sedimentary rocks of Mars, from a variety of Mars-mission spacecraft data, also occur in Martian meteorites. Even Martian meteorites recovered after some exposure to terrestrial weathering can preserve preterrestrial evaporite minerals and useful information about aqueous alteration on Mars, but the textures and textural co...
متن کاملAlteration of immature sedimentary rocks on Earth and Mars: Recording aqueous and surface–atmosphere processes
a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Rock alteration and rind formation in analog environments like Antarctica may provide clues to rock alteration and therefore paleoclimates on Mars. Clastic sedimentary rocks derived from basaltic sources have been studied in situ by martian rovers and are likely abundant on the surface of Mars. However, how such rock types undergo alteration when exposed to...
متن کاملA model for formation of dust, soil, and rock coatings on Mars: Physical and chemical processes on the Martian surface
[1] A model is presented here to explain the generation of surface material on Mars using chemical, magnetic, and spectroscopic data from Mars and geologic analogs from terrestrial sites. One basic premise is that the dust/soil units are not derived exclusively from local rocks, but are rather a product of global, and possibly remote, weathering processes. Another assumption in this model is th...
