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

There are two types of emerged relief on the Earth: high elevation areas (mountain belts and
rift shoulders) in active tectonic settings and low elevation domains (anorogenic plateaus …

It has been 10 years since publication of the first edition ofSoils of the Past. In that time the
subject of paleopedology hasgrown rapidly, and established itself within the mainstream …

Laterites and bauxites are produced in tropical soils by weathering, which enriches iron (of
laterites) and alumina (of bauxites)—as well as trace elements such as nickel, gold …

The geological evolution of northwestern Africa and its continental margins is investigated in
the light of nine Meso-Cenozoic paleogeological maps, which integrate original minimal …

This paper is a contribution to the understanding of surface dynamics of tropical shields over
geological timescales. Emphasis is put on the fundamental and applied implications of …

Abstract The West African Craton is highly endowed in minerals, and their spatial and
temporal distribution varies from single to multi-phase mineralization events. They are …

The tropical cratonic geosystem encompasses non-orogenic continental domains of the
tropical belt that developed and preserved Cenozoic lateritic regolith mantles (ie, the …

Classical geomorphological models identify regional erosion surfaces and raise
hypotheses, currently abandoned but largely untested, about the cumulative effects of …

Abstract (U–Th)/He geochronology of authigenic goethite cements from the Lynn Peak
channel iron deposit (CID), Hamersley Province, Western Australia, reveals a history of …
