Geochemical Sediments and Landscapes

"The editors of this book have composed an excellent, up-to-date overview of continental chemical deposits. ... This volume contributes substantially to a better understanding of several earth-surface processes. It is a book that many earth scientists interested in geomorphology, weathering, soils and continental paleoenviroments long have waited for." (Journal of Sedimentary Research , January 2009) "I would highly recommend this text to both students and academics </li> An up-to-date and comprehensive survey of research in the field of geochemical sediments and landscapes </li> Discusses the main duricrusts, including calcrete, laterite and silcrete </li> Considers deposits precipitated in various springs, lakes, caves and near-coastal environments </li> Considers the range of techniques used in the analysis of geochemical sediments, representing a significant advance on previous texts</li> </ul>
