Interaction of temperature, salinity and extracellular polymeric substances controls trace element incorporation into tufa calcite (2021)
Journal Article
Rogerson, M., Pedley, H. M., Greenway, G. M., & Wadhawan, J. D. (in press). Interaction of temperature, salinity and extracellular polymeric substances controls trace element incorporation into tufa calcite. The Depositional Record, https://doi.org/10.1002/dep2.160

The influence of extracellular polymeric substances on carbonate mineral growth in natural settings remains one of the most poorly understood contributors to the growth of non-marine carbonate sediments. The influences of these materials are complica... Read More about Interaction of temperature, salinity and extracellular polymeric substances controls trace element incorporation into tufa calcite.

Linking mineralisation process and sedimentary product in terrestrial carbonates using a solution thermodynamic approach (2014)
Journal Article
Rogerson, M., Pedley, H. M., Kelham, A., & Wadhawan, J. D. (2014). Linking mineralisation process and sedimentary product in terrestrial carbonates using a solution thermodynamic approach. Earth surface dynamics European Geosciences Union, 2(1), 197-216. https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-2-197-2014

Determining the processes which generate terrestrial carbonate deposits (tufas, travertines and to a lesser extent associated chemical sediments such as calcretes and speleothems) is a long-standing problem. Precipitation of mineral products from sol... Read More about Linking mineralisation process and sedimentary product in terrestrial carbonates using a solution thermodynamic approach.

New insights into biological influence on the geochemistry of freshwater carbonate deposits (2008)
Journal Article
Rogerson, M., Pedley, H. M., Wadhawan, J. D., & Middleton, R. (2008). New insights into biological influence on the geochemistry of freshwater carbonate deposits. Geochimica et cosmochimica acta, 72(20), 4976-4987. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2008.06.030

Ambient temperature freshwater carbonates ("tufas") have outstanding potential as palaeoclimate archives. However, it has proven difficult to constrain the behaviour of the geochemical parameters on which important proxy systems rely. Current thinkin...
