Evaporites : a geological compendium / John K.Warren.

Interpreting Evaporite Textures -- Depositional Chemistry and Hydrology -- Sabkhas, Saline Mudflats and Pans -- Subaqueous Salts: Salinas and Perennial Lakes -- Ancient Basins and Stratigraphic Evolution -- Flowing Salt: Halokinesis -- Salt Dissolution and Pointers to Vanished Evaporites: Karst, Breccia, Nodules and Cement -- Hypersaline Fluid Evolution During Burial and Uplift -- Halotolerant Life in Feast or Famine: Organic Sources of Hydrocarbons and Fixers of Metals -- Hydrocarbons and Evaporites -- Potash Resources: Occurrences and Controls -- Non-Potash Salts: Borates, Na-Sulphates, Na-Carbonate, Lithium Salts, Gypsum, Halite and Zolites -- Solution Mining and Salt Cavern Usage -- Meta-evaporites -- Lower Temperature Metals in an Evaporitic Framework -- Magma-Evaporite-Hydrothermal Metal Associations.

The monograph offers a comprehensive discussion of the role of evaporites in hydrocarbon generation and trapping, and new information on low temperature and high temperature ores. It also provides a wealth of information on exploitable salts, in a comprehensive volume has been assembled and organized to provide quick access to relevant information on all matters related to evaporites and associated brines.
