Paleosols (fossil soils) are preserved throughout the geologic record in depositional settings
ranging from alluvial systems to between basalt flows. Until recently, paleosols were studied …

Interest in palustrine carbonates and calcretes has increased over the last 20 years since

Principles of Sequence Stratigraphy, Second Edition presents principles to practical
workflow that guide applications in a consistent manner that is independent of model …

Paleoelevation reconstruction using oxygen isotopes is making a significant contribution to
understanding the Cenozoic uplift of the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau. This paper …

The presence of perennially wet surface environments on early Mars is well documented,,
but little is known about short-term episodicity in the early hydroclimate. Post-depositional …

Paleosols are ancient soils that have been incorporated into the geological record. Soils
form in response to interactions among the lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and …

Soils, invaluable indicators of the nature and history of the physical and human landscape,
have strongly influenced the cultural record left to archaeologists. Not only are they primary …

many landscape situations andfeatures, whilst linking process to position, geochemistry …

Different modes of preservation of root traces (rhizoliths) provide information on soil-
moisture regimes in alluvial paleosols in the Paleogene Fort Union and Willwood formations …

Calcretes (synonym: caliches) represent calcium-carbonate accumulations in a variety of
soils (and palaeosols) by pedogenic processes, as well as in surficial sediments in which …
