What story does the Durov diagram tell?

Journal Title: Colloquium Biometricum; Colloquium Biometricum (Online) - Year 2017, Vol 47, Issue

Abstract

The Durov diagram is a popular visualization technique applied in hydrogeology to display the major ions as percentages of milli-equivalents in two ternary (trilinear) graphs that form an additional two-dimensional projection (the Durov projection). The paper shows that the Durov diagram is not as useful as it is normally thought to be. We discuss that the Durov projection, which is the main idea behind the Durov diagram, offers a data picture that should not be interpreted as it normally is in the Durov diagram.
