The classical approach to sandstone petrology, established in the golden years of plate
tectonics and based on the axiom that “detrital modes of sandstone suites primarily reflect …

Terrestrial vegetation and soils hold three times more carbon than the atmosphere. Much
debate concerns how anthropogenic activity will perturb these surface reservoirs, potentially …

Geochemical parameters obtained from the analysis of sediments and sedimentary rocks
are widely used to infer weathering and paleo-weathering conditions in source areas …

In contrast to larger river systems that drain relatively pristine basins, little is known about the
sediment geochemistry of rivers impacted by intense human activities. In this paper, we …

We present an extensive river sediment dataset covering the Ganga basin from the
Himalayan front downstream to the Ganga mainstream in Bangladesh. These sediments …

Continental chemical weathering is central in Earth's surface biogeochemical cycles as it
redistributes elements across reservoirs such as the crust and the oceans. However the …

Rivers play a key role in earth surface processes by weathering and eroding the upper
continental crust under variable climate regimes. How to quantitatively determine the …

Although the proxies based on elemental geochemistry of siliciclastic sediments have been
well developed to indicate the intensity of chemical weathering in various catchments, their …

This study investigates processes of sediment generation in equatorial central Africa. An
original, complete and integrated mineralogical‐geochemical database on silt‐sized …

The erosion of major mountain ranges is thought to be largely cannibalistic, recycling
sediments that were deposited in the ocean or on the continents prior to mountain uplift …
