“Iron Ion Relative Weathering Index”: A New Index for Identifying the Weathering Degree in Red Sandstone [PDF]
The red bed region in west central and southern China is affected by hot and humid climate, where sandstone is intensely weathered. The weathered hazardous rocks seriously threaten the road and slope, making it challenging to protect the Danxia red bed.

The weathering process of carbonatite: weathering time [PDF]
Soil formation by rock weathering is driven by a combination of parent material, climate, organisms, topography, and time. Among these soil-forming factors, time plays a pivotal role in the weathering of carbonatite but it is a challenging factor to ...

Geochemical investigations of the Sangestan Formation, west of Yazd: using multivariate analysis to identify sediment source, sedimentary environment, and palaeoclimate conditions [PDF]
The Early Cretaceous succession in the southern part of Yazd Block begins with terrestrial sediments of the Sangestan Formation. Little attention has been paid to this formation and most studies have focused on its lithostratigraphy.

Paired magnetic susceptibility and geochemistry of young volcanism in Iceland and Tengchong, China [PDF]
Two recent Quaternary volcanic provinces in Iceland and Tengchong, China were investigated with magnetic susceptibility and geochemistry. Despite their similar age, the two volcanic systems have different tectono–magmatic settings (influencing primary ...
