Hydrogeochemical controls on arsenic, boron, lithium, and antimony in volcanic–geothermal systems: Evidence from the Central Bolivian Altiplano

Journal article reporting research on hydrogeochemical controls of arsenic, boron, lithium, and antimony in volcanic–geothermal systems using evidence from the Central Bolivian Altiplano. Publisher listed as Elsevier BV and content type specified as a journal article.

A salt sculpture of the logo (which is meant to look like someone wrapped up to protect against a sandstorm) of the Dakar Rally, an endurance event for off-road vehicles. Originally the Paris-Dakar Rally, it has been held in South America since 2009 due to security concerns over traversing west Africa to get to Dakar, Senegal. In 2014 the Rally came to the Uyuni Salt Flat for the first time. In the background is the original salt hotel, the White Beach Salt Hotel, built in 1993-1995 out of salt
