DOI: 10.1016/j.coldregions.2018.03.021
Abstract: Abstract Densely compacted loess on which many man-made infrastructures are built are often exposed to strong weathering processes such as repeated wetting-drying (WD) and freeze-thaw (FT) cycles. These weathering processes in arid and seasonally frozen… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2020.116166
Abstract: Abstract Rivers are the principal source of chromium (Cr) to seawater and the Cr isotopic signatures of ancient marine sediments are widely considered to provide a record of the presence or absence of oxidative weathering… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0191780
Abstract: The isotope ratios of Sr are useful tracers for studying parent material sources, weathering processes, and biogeochemical cycling. Mineralogical and geochemical investigations of two lateritic weathering covers, in an area close to the Tropic of… read more here.
