Clays and clay minerals are the most abundant natural reactive
solids on the Earth's surface. This comprehensive review considers
clay science in the context of the Critical Zone - the Earth's
permeable near-surface layer. Providing information on clays and
clay minerals related to geological, biological and material
sciences in the Critical Zone, it's well suited for graduate
students and researchers interested in clay science, and
environmental and soil mineralogy. The book starts with an
introduction to clays and clay minerals, their historic background,
and a review of how clay science impacts the Critical Zone.
Examples and applications demonstrate how clays regulate habitats
and determine the availability of other resources. These examples
are supported by quantitative field data, including numerical and
graphical depictions of clay and clay mineral occurrences. The book
concludes by covering Critical Zone clay geochemistry and clay
sequences, including the industrial, synthetic medical and
extra-terrestrial world of clay science.
