Duricrust Diagenesis in the Kalahari Basin With Implications for Mineral Recycling and the Long-Term Resilience of Cratonic Landscapes
Duricrusts cover more than 10% of Earth’s land surface. They armor cratonic landscapes and retard erosion, yet the diagenetic processes governing their internal evolution remain incompletely understood. We present an integrated micro-analytical study of duricrust diagenesis in the Kalahari Basin, southern Africa, combi...
