A Series of Data-Driven Hypotheses for Inferring Biogeochemical Conditions in Alkaline Lakes and Their Deposits Based on the Behavior of Mg and SiO<sub>2</sub>

Alkaline (pH > 8.5) lakes have been common features of Earth’s surface environments throughout its history and are currently among the most biologically productive environments on the planet. The chemistry of alkaline lakes favors the deposition of aluminum-poor magnesian clays (e.g., sepiolite,...
