Special Issue: The Hydrochemistry and Isotope Geochemistry of Alkaline Lakes and Brine Systems

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of the hydrochemistry and isotope geochemistry of alkaline lakes and brines. It invites original research papers, review articles, and case studies that contribute to our understanding of the unique geochemical processes occurring in these environments and their implications for mineral resource exploration and extraction. The scope of the Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

(1) Hydrogeochemical modelling of alkaline lakes and brine

(2) Isotope tracing of solute sources and cycling in alkaline lakes and brine system

(3) The influence of mineralogy and rock-water interactions on alkaline lake and brine chemistry

(4) The influence of climate change on alkaline lake and brine chemistry

(5) The role of microbial activity in shaping alkaline lake and brine chemistry

(6) Novel analytical techniques for studying alkaline lake and brine hydrochemistry and isotope geochemistry

(7) Geochemical signatures of brine and mineral deposits in alkaline lakes and brine

(8) The use of alkaline lakes and brine as analogs for understanding the behavior of water and solutes in extraterrestrial environments
