The isotopic geochemistry of CaCO3 encrustations in Taylor Valley, Antarctica: Implications for their origin

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) encrustations occur in most desert soils, including polar ones, and such encrustations preserve records of geochemical, hydrological, and atmosphere processes affecting these soils. We have collected a series of CaCO3 encrustations found underneath surface rocks in the soil... View More
