"These analyses suggest that the red color at Blood Falls arises from oxidation of dissolved Fe2+ in the subglacial fluid that transforms upon exposure to air to form nanospheres of amorphous hydroxylated mixed-valent iron-containing material, with color also influenced by other ions in those structures,"

Blasphemy I say!  Blasphemy!

When I was doing dream interpretations, I would often use the word suggest and/or indicates:

The water in your dream suggests an emotional response to the stimuli you have described....The color of red in the water indicates an emotion of anger in what should be a rather peaceful transition...
