Were mechanical processes faster than chemical, weathering rinds and solution features on silicate rocks would be uncommon in the Antarctic, periglacial landscape. However, this is not the case as the existence of these landforms implies that chemical weathering may occur faster than mechanical weathering processes (Pope et al., 1995). In a changing world, one needs to monitor these processes at a micro-scale in order to fully understand how periglacial environments react to global climatic changes, and the subsequent impacts on these sensitive environments.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 19:32:00 SAST ]]> https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:28034 Fri 02 Jun 2023 11:43:09 SAST ]]>
