DOI: 10.1002/esp.4704
Abstract: Groundwater dolocretes may exert an important geomorphic control on landscape evolution within sub‐humid to arid regions. However, the geomorphic and hydrogeological settings of dolocrete remain poorly described. The hydrochemical conditions of dolomite precipitation in groundwater… read more here.
