Geochemical Processes, Weathering and Groundater Recharge in Catchments [Hardcover]

Geochemical Processes, Weathering and Groundwater Recharge in Catchmentsis a specialist book concerned with the natural processes taking place where water interacts with minerals and organic matter at the earths surface, in soils or within aquifers. It focuses on the all important interface between the hydrological and geochemical cycles in terrestrial ecosystems, and is thus particularly relevant to understanding the environment. The book is intended primarily as a reference text for graduate students in Earth Sciences, Hydrology or Environmental Sciences, but will be a useful introduction to those studying Chemistry, Biology or Forestry Studies. Geochemical Processes, Weathering and Groundwater Recharge in Catchmentspresents an overview of the current status of knowledge of catchment studies, with an outline of the challenges of future research.
