Acid activation with HCl of two bentonites from the Aegean Islands of Milos and Chios,
Greece, consisting of Chambers and Tatatilla-type and Otay-type montmorillonite …

Progressive alteration by seawater of an andesite in the Aegean Island of Milos and an
ignimbrite in the Aegean Island of Kimolos, Greece, formed bentonites with or without …

Juventae Chasma contains four light‐toned sulfate‐bearing mounds (denoted here as A–D

In the last few years, several ground-based and airborne field campaigns have allowed the
exploration of the properties and impacts of mineral dust in western Africa, one of the major …

Bentonite deposits of Kimolos Island, Aegean, Greece were investigated in order to
determine their physical and chemical properties. Testing included measurement of CEC …

The catastrophic Vajont landslide that occurred on 9 October 1963 caused about 2000

The understanding of the structural formula of smectite minerals is basic to predicting their
physicochemical properties, which depend on the location of the cation substitutions within …

The Lower Pleistocene bentonite deposits of Eastern Milos, Greece have been formed at the
expense of volcaniclastic rocks under submarine conditions. Systematic variation of the …
