SURFACE AND GROUND WATER, WEATHERING, AND SOILS, 5
Treatise on Geochemistry, Volume 5 To order this title, and for more information, click here
Edited By J.I. Drever, University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY, USA
Description Volume 5 has several objectives. The first is to present an overview of the composition of surface and ground waters on the continents
and the mechanisms that control the compositions. The second is to present summaries of the tools and methodologies used in modern studies
of the geochemistry of surface and ground waters. The third is to present information on the role of weathering and soil formation in
geochemical cycles: weathering affects the chemistry of the atmosphere through uptake of carbon dioxide and oxygen, and paleosols (preserved
soils in the rock record) provide information on the composition of the atmosphere in the geological past.
