Citing Mescla¶

If you use Mescla in a publication or other work, please cite the software itself as well as the methods paper(s) it implements for the analysis you ran:

Nardi, A. Mescla: End-Member Mixing Analysis and water mixing-ratio methods for hydrochemistry. Amphos 21 Consulting S.L. https://github.com/amphos21-consulting/mescla (see CITATION.cff for the exact version).

CITATION.cff in the repository root carries this in machine-readable form (GitHub renders it as a “Cite this repository” button), together with the four methods papers above.
