Funds are provided to investigate the degree to which cyanobacteria and algae are involved in generating hyperalkaline conditions that result in rapid rock weathering and dissolution of silica cements and minerals in the Canadian High Arctic. Preliminary results suggest a potentially large-scale mec...
