文摘

Shows mineralogical and geochemical changes from bedrock to weathering profile to low-order stream, across climate zones. Adds to the understanding of how climate influences sand production on a large scale (~ 1000 km transect). Impacts provenance and paleoclimate studies, i.e., the degree climate distances the mineralogy of sand from its source. Differential loss of feldspars and micas during weathering impacts studies of bedrock erodibility and landscape evolution.
