Description
Researchers in geomorphology, geochemistry, Quaternary geology, soil science, and mineralogy will welcome this volume, the first to focus
exclusively on rates of silicate chemical weathering. Consisting largely of previously unpublished data from six countries, the volume
examines the latest experimental, modelling, and field results.****New information is presented on topics of current research interest,
including inferences about chemical mechanisms at the level of mineral surfaces, and data relating weathering rates to landscape evolution
over millions of years. The volume integrates the variety of approaches used by diverse subdisciplines in the assessment of weathering
rates, and provides up-to-date references.
Audience
This book is an outgrowth of our interests in rates of weathering and in the broad spectrum of research and applications related to weathering rates.
