The Low-Temperature Weathering of the Grønnedal-Íka Carbonatite-Alkaline Silicate Igneous Complex in Southwest Greenland

The Grønnedal-Íka igneous complex in SW-Greenland is composed of layered nepheline-syenite suites and a carbonatite plug. It is believed that weathering of the complex generates alkaline pH water, leading to the precipitation of the submarine ikaite tufa pillars in Ikka Fjord. Ikaite is a hydrated c...
