1. Water-Rock Interaction XIII

   Edited by Peter Birkle, Ignacio Salvador Torres Alvarado

   In the late 18th century, Neptunists and Plutonists had controversial opinions about the formation of the Earth and its lithological units. The former believed that rocks formed from the crystallization of minerals in the early Earth’s oceans, the latter believed that rocks were formed in fire....

   Edited by Jochen Bundschuh, M. A. Armienta, Peter Birkle, Prosun Bhattacharya, Jörg Matschullat, A. B. Mukherjee

   Series: Arsenic in the environment

   Groundwater resources naturally contain high levels of arsenic in many parts of the world. Over the last two decades, the As-containing groundwater in South-East Asia has received much attention, but the situation is just as crucial in Latin America, where the number of studies is still relatively...

4. Water-Rock Interaction, Two Volume Set

   Proceedings of the 12th International Symposium on Water-Rock Interaction, Kunming, China, 31 July - 5 August 2007

   Edited by Thomas D. Bullen, Yanxin Wang

   The hydrosphere and lithosphere intersect in a zone a few kilometres wide at the earth’s surface, resulting in the formation of magmas, metamorphic rocks and mineral deposits, and placing important controls on the evolution of landscapes. This interaction imparts chemistry to waters and provides...
