Experimental Weathering of Silicates and Sulfides in CO_2 Atmospheres: Implications for Sulfates Versus Carbonates on Mars
Abstract
We present the results of a 4-year-long experiment in which silicates and silicate/sulfide mixtures were weathered under CO_2 atmospheres, and the implications of these results about the formation of carbonates and sulfates at the martian surface.
