Finally, the most soluble substances present are deposited as the uppermost stratum as the sea gives up the last of its moisture. The substances deposited depend on what was present in the original sea, and the order in which they are deposited depends on their relative solubilities

He is a journalist/filmmaker who might be available to talk to our students or visit the school. He presents at Global Issues Network conferences. I think he lives in Beijing.
