“…Gypsum (CaSO 4 • 2H 2 O) is frequently affected by diagenetic processes and, as a consequence, gypsum rocks include clay, carbonates and other minerals. The presence of other minerals affects the purity of the gypsum rocks and this is reflected in changes of its physical properties potentially measurable with geophysical methods (Carmichael, 1989;Guinea et al, 2010;Festa et al, 2016). However, their variability in composition and their complex geometry make the characterization of these deposits challenging (Martinius et al, 2002;Diaz-Molina and Muñoz-Garcia, 2010;Escavy et al, 2012;Kaufman and Romanov, 2017).…”
