“…Perennial rivers include the larger Cazones and Actopan rivers with drainage basins of 2688 and 2100 km 2 , respectively (Mejía‐Ledezma et al, 2020; Pereyra Díaz et al, 2010; Pérez‐Quezadas et al, 2017). Conversely, the Boca de Ovejas, Palma Sola and El Viejón rivers flow intermittently with insignificant drainage basins located in the central area of the western Gulf of Mexico coastal plain (Kasper‐Zubillaga et al, 1999).…”

This work investigates how the surface textures and morphology of pyroxene grains evolve during their source‐to‐sink history. This study applies to detrital clinopyroxenes concentrated in coastal dune sands of the Gulf of Mexico which were sourced in the Trans Mexican Volcanic Belt then transported and deposited in environments subject to limited chemical weathering. The composition and morphology of the pyroxenes was characterised using single‐grain geochemical analysis and surface texture imagery with a novel approach based on the compactness property to assess the shape of minerals. This reveals heterogenous diopside‐augite populations, displaying mineral morphologies dominantly controlled by impact breakage along cleavages, little physical abrasion along their edges and with limited evidence for chemical weathering. Mechanical surface textures dominate over mechanical/chemical and chemical surface textures. These mechanical surface textures are preserved primarily as flat cleavage surfaces and rounded edges inherited from fluvial‐intertidal and aeolian transport, respectively. Mechanically/chemically induced surface textures are preserved as elongated depressions. Chemical surface textures are sparse and mostly represented by mammillated textures that suggest local dissolution under subaqueous conditions. The scarcity of chemical surface textures is attributed to frequent fragmentation of the clinopyroxenes along cleavages and limited chemical weathering during transport of the observed populations. Clinopyroxene grains in the coastal dune sands primarily retain surface characteristics from fluvial transport. Although the breakage of minerals along cleavages can obscure their original morphology under a weathering‐limited erosion regime, this study shows how surface textures and morphology of pyroxene grains is used to determine episodes of transport and deposition close to volcanic environments. The use of the compactness property as a shape descriptor measurement of particles provides an alternative approach to observe how clinopyroxene remains unaltered despite the high energy conditions of the coastal area.

Water availability is fundamental for regional socioeconomic development, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions with recurrent periods of drought. Such is the case of the southwest region of Tamaulipas, whose only viable source of water is the Tula-Bustamante aquifer. This study aims to model groundwater evolution in the area, defining water-rock interaction processes, using nonparametric statistical tools and hydrogeochemical analysis. Two main processes that give rise to different hydrogeological units were identified: one characterized by water flow through fractured media (with limestone, dolomite and gypsum dissolution), and the other by aquitard features, such as the dissolution of shales, sandstones, and clays. Moreover, recharge, transit, and discharge processes were identified using groundwater flow systems theory, providing basic information for the design of an integrated water resources management system in the study area.
