Throughout geological time, evaporite sediments form by solar-driven concentration of a
surface or nearsurface brine. Large, thick and extensive deposits dominated by rock-salt …

Paleo-lakes in the western United States provide geomorphic and hydrologic records of
climate and drainage-basin change at multiple time scales extending back to the Miocene …

This text, written by a leading researcher in the field, describes the origin and formation of
lakes in order to give context to the question of how lacustrine deposits form. It explains the …

We use Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) data to identify and characterize the
global distribution of distinct materials interpreted to contain chloride salts on the Martian …

Factors governing large-scale spatio-temporal distribution of microorganisms remain
unresolved, yet are pivotal to understanding ecosystem value and function. Molecular …

Range‐front alluvial fan deposition in arid environments is episodic and results in multiple
fan surfaces and ages. These distinct landforms are often defined by descriptions of their …

A 100m long salt core (SQM# 2005) from the Salar de Atacama, northern Chile (23° S, 68°
W), a dry lake bed, contains a 106kyr paleoclimate record of hydrologic balances on the …

Abstract The clay‐rich Glen Torridon region of Gale crater, Mars, was explored between sols
2300 and 3007. Here, we analyzed the diagenetic features observed by Curiosity, including …

The Permian marks an important, yet poorly understood, tectonic transition in the Tian Shan
region of northwestern China between Devonian–Carboniferous continental amalgamation …

Facies analysis of widely distributed exposures of the 32· 6 km2 and 8· 1‐km‐long Warm
Spring Canyon fan, central Death Valley, shows that it has been built principally by debris …
