Auteur :
ECKARDT, F.

Description :
This review is concerned with the technique of stable isotope analysis (δS 34) as a means of studying the sulphur cycle with particular emphasis on the formation of sulphate evaporites such as gypsum. Gypsum is found in all settings that promote evaporation, including hot and cold desert environments. The review features gypsum in caves, salt pans and limestone walls with sulphur sources ranging from the marine environment to bedrock.
