Magnesium incorporation in the carbonate structure is at the heart of the "Dolomite Problem." Due to a strong magnesium hydration shell, dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2) and magnesite (MgCO3) will not form in the laboratory at sub-40 °C despite super saturation. Yet both dolomite and magnesite are seen throughout geologic time and recent dolomites are found in evaporative environments. This discrepancy is addressed across wide time and lengths scales, from angstroms to kilometers and nanoseconds to thousands of years.This thesis first presents a refined a temperature and pH cycling method to achieve up to 91 mol% MgCO3 of (Mg,Ca)CO3 carbonates without exceeding 40 °C. The experimental conditions ideal for magnesite growth match very well with an evaporative/lagoonal/playa geologic setting: small thermal mass for daily temperature swings, algal mass for pH control, and a solution highly concentrated in Mg2+ with high Mg:Ca ratios. Additionally, this study suggests the inclusion of dissolved silica in the system may play at catalytic role in the development of magnesium-bearing carbonates. To test these hypotheses in a field setting, this thesis explores the hydrology and mineralogy of Deep Springs Lake, a playa setting with primary dolomite precipitation. The central playa sites with the highest sedimentation rates have dissolved silica concentrations close to saturation. Bulk assemblages of core samples contain 20-40% fine grained, partially ordered dolomite along with a 10-20% poorly crystalline or amorphous clay fraction, while TEM imaging finds a co-incident relationship between the fine-grained dolomite and Mg-rich smectite clays. The Mg-rich smectite clays act as a sink for the excess dissolved silica during evaporation. While it has been proposed that the silica molecule could act as a catalyst by disrupting the surficial magnesium hydration barrier, the mechanism is still unknown. Using a molecular dynamics framework verified by ab-initio calculations, this thesis found that while stable configurations of surface silica exist, their presence has no effect on the number of waters coordinated to the surface and no effect on the distance between the water to surface cations. However, the desorption of dissolved silica from the surface increases the local Mg-bound water exchange rate from 0.51 ns-1 to 0.97 ns-1.
