Ngarrawa (mound spring) sediments as archives of Holocene environmental change in arid central Australia: Insights from Itrax XRF scanning

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Central Australia's ngarrawa, or ‘mound springs’, are unique hydrological systems that serve as some of the only near‐permanent sources of water and continuous sediment deposition in Australia's arid interior. As such, they hold significant potential as palaeo‐climate and ‐environmental archives in a region where many aspects of past climate ...
