Abstract The Central European Variscides and their epicontinental basins and grabens
(Mesoeurope sensu Stille) subsided into the uplifted basement as well as the Alpidic …

The first edition of the Handbook of Clay Science published in 2006 assembled the
scattered literature on the varied and diverse aspects that make up the discipline of clay …

Smectite illitization is a common mineralogical reaction occurring during the burial
diagenesis of clay-rich sediments and shales, and has thus attracted sustained interest over …

Layered minerals and materials are ubiquitous and characterized by the frequent
occurrence of stacking defects. In particular, interstratification (or mixed layering), which …

Part of the soils occurring in the serpentinite Szklary Massif (SW Poland) have developed in
Quaternary under temperate climate on the parent rock not affected by chemical weathering …

Widespread detections of phyllosilicates in Noachian terrains on Mars imply a history of near‐
surface fluid‐rock interaction. Ferrous trioctahedral smectites are thermodynamically …

Molecular hydrogen (H2) released during serpentinization of mantle rocks is one of the main
fuels for chemosynthetic life. Processes of H2 production at slow-spreading mid-ocean …

A specific methodology was developed to refine the complex clay mineralogy commonly
encountered in soil environments. The soil examined was a Cambisol developed into a …

The capacity of mine waste to trap CO2 is, in some cases, much larger than the greenhouse
gas production of a mining operation. In mine tailings, the presence of secondary carbonate …

Structural characterization of soil clay minerals often remains limited despite their key
influence on soil properties. In soils, complex clay parageneses result from the coexistence …
