Abstract

In all cross sections decrease in salinity and chlorinity with time of exposure was observed and was taken to represent the leaching effect of rain. Relatively constant gypsum concentrations in the sediments in all cross sections indicate that the amount of rain that passed through the sediments in the last 50-60 years was not sufficient to cause a significant dissolution of gypsum. -from Authors
