Environmental and Low-Temperature Geochemistry presents conceptual
and quantitative principles of geochemistry in order to foster
understanding of natural processes at and near the earth s surface,
as well as anthropogenic impacts on the natural environment. It
provides the reader with the essentials of concentration,
speciation and reactivity of elements in soils, waters, sediments
and air, drawing attention to both thermodynamic and kinetic
controls. Specific features include: An introductory chapter that
reviews basic chemical principles applied to environmental and
low-temperature geochemistry Explanation and analysis of the
importance of minerals in the environment Principles of aqueous
geochemistry Organic compounds in the environment The role of
microbes in processes such as biomineralization, elemental
speciation and reduction-oxidation reactions Thorough coverage of
the fundamentals of important geochemical cycles (C, N, P, S)
Atmospheric chemistry Soil geochemistry The roles of stable
isotopes in environmental analysis Radioactive and radiogenic
isotopes as environmental tracers and environmental contaminants
Principles and examples of instrumental analysis in environmental
geochemistry The text concludes with a case study of surface water
and groundwater contamination that includes interactions and
reactions of naturally-derived inorganic substances and introduced
organic compounds (fuels and solvents), and illustrates the
importance of interdisciplinary analysis in environmental
geochemistry. Readership: Advanced undergraduate and graduate
students studying environmental/low T geochemistry as part of an
earth science, environmental science or related program. Additional
