Clays in Crustal Environments
Clay minerals form in a wide variety of crustal environments, e.g. in soil profiles, in sediments at the surface and in deeply buried sedimentary deposits, and under regional, contact and hydrothermal metamorphism conditions.The book provides information about the dynamics of isotope systems in clays and helps us to understand the physical and chemical parameters in the transfer of masses within the crustal domain.
Clays in Crustal Environments
Clays and clay minerals are important for the reconstruction of weathering and abrasion processes of the Earth's crust. Dating of these processes is of major interest for sedimentologists, geomorphologists and soil scientists.
Isotopic Signatures and Sedimentary Records
Chemical modifications of supracrustal materials haveoccurred at various times in the Earth's history. Thisreference book gives an overlook over themost recentfindings of isotope research in the sedimentary environment.The reader, interested in the diagnetic evolution ofsediments, can use the book as a tool for the understandingof mineral-water interactions in the supracrustal level.
