TLDR
In this article, a detailed analysis of the Prungle lakes is presented, showing that they are a site of cyclic Quaternary sedimentation in response to the well documented global climatic fluctuations associated with the glacial interglacial cycle.About:

TL;DR: Impure reworked evaporitic sandstones, preserved on Meridiani Planum, Mars, are mixtures of roughly equal amounts of altered siliciclastic debris, of basaltic provenance (40−±10% by mass), and chemical constituents, dominated by evaporitic minerals (jarosite, Mg, Ca-sulfates, chlorides, Fe-, Na-solves), hematite and possibly secondary silica (60−± 10%).

TL;DR: The Burns formation as mentioned in this paper is a set of genetically related strata defined here informally as the Burns formation, which can be subdivided into lower, middle, and upper units which, respectively, represent eolian dune and interdune facies associations.

Stratigraphy, sedimentology, chronology and palaeohydrology of Quaternary lacustrine deposits at Madigan Gulf, Lake Eyre, south Australia
TL;DR: Madigan Gulf is a large bay at the southern end of Lake Eyre North, a major ephemerally flooded playa in arid central Australia at the southwestern margin of a vast (1,300,000 km2) internal drainage basin this article.

Willandra Lakes revisited: environmental framework for human occupation
TL;DR: In this paper, an improved facies analysis from data involving lake sediments, freshwater quartz beach sands (QBSs) and lake-dry pelletal clay dunes (PCDs) helps refine the sequence of environmental changes.

Isotopic constraints on the origin of salts in Australian playas. 1. Sulphur
TL;DR: In this article, the δ34S values of a variety of gypsum types from the moderm playa lakes of southern Australia show little relationship with underlying bedrock types or the values of the bedrock sulphur.

Rivers: Form and Process in Alluvial Channels
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed review of alluvial river form and process is presented, focusing on the environmental catchment factors that control the development of channel equilibrium, and a detailed analysis of the channel equilibrium process is provided.

Aridity in Australia: Age, origins and expression in aeolian landforms and sediments
TL;DR: The early evidence of aridity in Australia is provided by the contraction of large lakes and extensive faunal changes towards the end of Tertiary time as mentioned in this paper, which played an important part in the evolution of the continental climatic pattern.
