Elevated olivine weathering rates and sulfate formation at cryogenic temperatures on Mars
Sulphate-rich sediments have been taken as evidence of surface water on Mars. Here, the authors show that cryo-concentrated brines chemically weather olivine minerals forming sulfate minerals at up to −60 °C, showing that cryogenic weathering and sulfate formation can occur under current Martian con...
