Provenance and recycling of Arabian desert sand

This study seeks to determine the ultimate origin of aeolian sand in Arabian deserts by high-resolution petrographic and heavy-mineral techniques combined with zircon U–Pb geochronology. Point-counting is used here as the sole method by which unbiased volume percentages of heavy minerals can be obta...
