  Calcite Dissolution-Reprecipitation Reactions Are a Key Control on the Sr/Ca, Mg/Ca and δ^88/86Sr Compositions of Himalayan River Waters

  The increase in Sr/Ca ratios of Himalayan rivers is modelled by balanced dissolution-precipitation reactions. The stable Sr-isotopic compositions and Sr/Ca ratios of waters constrain the carbonate reprecipitation rates.
