Interest in palustrine carbonates and calcretes has increased over the last 20 years since
they contain significant environmental information. Much of the work performed in this area …

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 …

The precipitation of calcium carbonate is widespread in soils and regoliths and common
under different environmental settings, especially in soils of arid environments. This topic is …

Active tectonic deformation influencing the streams and hillslopes of the Sierra Alhamilla
ridge (anticlinorium) in southeast Spain is related to the dextral-reverse Polopos Fault Zone …

Calcrete is a general term given to the near-surface, terrestrial accumulation of
predominantly calcium carbonate, which occurs in a variety of forms from powdery to …

Calcretes that form in non-pedogenic settings have been widely reported in the
geomorphological and geological literature, yet they are still poorly understood in …

The Bauru Basin of SE Brazil is a large (ca. 370,000 km2) Upper Cretaceous intracratonic
feature, important for its fossil remains and of particular value as a source of regional …

The geomorphology and Quaternary history of the River Orontes in western Syria and south-
central Turkey have been studied using a combination of methods: field survey, differential …

Abstract The Upper Cretaceous Bauru Group in south‐east Brazil consists of alluvial strata
whose characteristics and distribution indicate a fluvial system developed in a semi‐arid to …

Quaternary-aged calcrete horizons are common weathering products in arid and semi-arid
regions. It is, however, unclear how calcrete forming processes respond to the major …
