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 …

▪ Abstract Mixed-layer clay minerals are intermediate products of reactions involving pure
end-member clays. They come from natural environments ranging from surface to low-grade …

This book is about the most complete work on the subject of clay minerals thus far
conceived. Its scope is one of basics to general principles to use in real geologic situations …

Of course such a book as we propose here is not the product of just two people working
together, although the experience has been a great pleasure for us. We would like to thank …

The origin and formation of soil clay minerals, namely micas, vermiculites, smectites,
chlorites and interlayered minerals, interstratified minerals and kaolin minerals, are broadly …

This paper describes the ways in which the major rock-forming primary minerals (olivine,
pyroxenes, amphiboles, feldspars, micas and chlorites) break down during weathering, the …

Chlorite and corrensite are common clay minerals in lacustrine mudrocks from the Devonian
Orcadian Basin, Scotland. The relationship of their occurrence to vitrinite reflectance data …

Surface flaking, a deterioration pattern widely existing in stone components of the ancient
building complex in Wudang Mountain, has significantly compromised its historical value …

The reaction mechanism of weathering of chlorite, an important rock-forming phyllosilicate,
is not well understood in natural settings. In this work we investigated the weathering of Fe …

The hydrologic connectivity between hillslopes and streams impacts the geomorphological
evolution of catchments. Here, we propose a conceptual model for hydrogeomorphological …
