Research and Markets: Environmental Surfaces and Interfaces from the Nanoscale to the Global Scale – An Advanced Exploration of Water-Rock Interactions
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/db51c0/environmental_surf) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd’s new report “Environmental Surfaces and Interfaces from the Nanoscale to the Global Scale” to their offering.
Based on the author’s fifteen years of teaching and tried-and-tested experiences in the classroom, here is a comprehensive exploration of water-rock interactions. Environmental Surfaces and Interfaces from the Nanoscale to the Global Scale covers aspects ranging from the theory of charged particle surfaces to how minerals grow and dissolve to new frontiers in W-R interactions such as nanoparticles, geomicrobiology, and climate change.
Providing basic conceptual understanding along with more complex subject matter, Professor Patricia Maurice encourages students to look beyond the text to ongoing research in the field.
Designed to engage the learner, the book features:
- Numerous case studies to contextualize concepts
- Practice and thought questions at the end of each chapter
- Broad coverage from basic theory to cutting-edge topics such as nanotechnology
- Both basic and applied science
This text goes beyond W-R interactions to touch on a broad range of environmental disciplines. While written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students primarily in geochemistry and soil chemistry, Environmental Surfaces and Interfaces from the Nanoscale to the Global Scale will serve the needs of such diverse fields as environmental engineering, hydrogeology, physics, biology, and environmental chemistry.
Key Topics Covered:
| 1 Some Fundamental Chemical Thermodynamic and Kinetic Concepts. |
| 2 The Hydrologic Cycle as Context for Environmental Surfaces and Interfaces. |
| 3 Some Minerals of Special Interest to Environmental Surface Chemistry. |
| 4 Some Key Techniques for Investigating Surfaces and Interfaces. |
