Chemical weathering in the Hong (Red) River basin: Rates of silicate weathering and their controlling factors

Hydrochemistry of the middle and upper reaches of the Yarlung Tsangpo River system: weathering processes and CO2 consumption

“…Mechanisms controlling surface water chemistry include atmospheric input, rock weathering, evaporation-crystallization processes, and anthropogenic activity (Moon et al 2007). Stoichiometry can provide some qualitative information for determining sources of several ions (Gao et al 2009).…”

“…and Mg 2? derived from silicate should be estimated using data from monolithologic drainages within the study area, but this is rarely attainable in regional scale field studies (Moon et al 2007;Noh et al 2009). Therefore, we referred to previous studies of local silicate weathering to determine the ratios.…”

Climate induced temporal change in Sr-Nd isotope ratios in the valley-fill deposits of the Ganga river

“…The 87 Sr/ 86 Sr of the major global rivers water ranges from 0.7089 to 0.7291 in which the Ganga river water is characterized by the highest Sr isotopic ratio (0.7291) whereas the Danube river water have lowest Sr isotope ratio (0.7089) (Goldstein and Jacobsen, 1987;Krishnaswami et al, 1992;Palmer and Edmond, 1992;Pande et al, 1994;Trivedi et al, 1995;Yang et al, 1996;Gaillardet et al, 1999;Millot et al, 2003;Tipper et al, 2006;Moon et al, 2007Moon et al, , 2009Pattanaik et al, 2007;Xu and Marcantonio, 2007;Peucker-Ehrenbrink et al, 2010;Noh et al, 2009). The rivers like Amazon, Orinoco etc.…”

Chemical weathering under mid- to cool temperate and monsoon-controlled climate: A study on water geochemistry of the Songhuajiang River system, northeast China

“…In this study, a forward modeling approach was used to estimate the relative contribution of the different sources to the river (Galy and France-Lanord, 1999;Krishnaswami et al, 1999;Mortatti and Probst, 2003;Han and Liu, 2004;Moon et al, 2007;Xu and Liu, 2007).…”
