The feldspar group is one of the most common types of minerals in the earth's crust.
Feldspar alteration (including the whole processes of feldspar dissolution, transfer of …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

The hydration and microstructural evolution of three alkali activated slags (AAS) with Al2O3
contents between 7 and 17% wt.% have been investigated. The slags were hydrated in the …

The correlation between decreasing reaction rates of silicate minerals and increasing
duration of chemical weathering was investigated for both experimental and field conditions …

Introduction to Geomicrobiology is a timely and comprehensive overview of how microbial
life has affected Earth's environment through time. It shows how the ubiquity of …

Microorganisms modify rates and mechanisms of chemical and physical weathering and
clay growth, thus playing fundamental roles in soil and sediment formation. Because …

Systems at the surface of the Earth are continually responding to energy inputs derived
ultimately from radiation from the Sun or from the radiogenic heat in the interior. These …

Mineral dissolution rates control the temporal evolution of many natural processes on the
surface and upper crust of the Earth. This is the first of a series of papers describing the …

Mineral dissolution experiments using batch cultures of soil and groundwater bacteria were
monitored with solution chemistry and various microscopic techniques to determine the …

The rates of mineral dissolution contribute to processes controlling soil fertility, porosity in
aquifers and oil reservoirs, transport and sequestration of contaminants and CO 2, cycling of …
