Environmental and Low Temperature Geochemistry by Peter Ryan

Environmental and Low Temperature Geochemistry by Peter Ryan

This book is intended to present an integrated approach to the geochemistry of the earth s surface, including topics ranging from environmental contamination of air, water, and soil to natural processes such as chemical weathering, carbonate equilibria and sediment diagenesis.

A useful acquisition for libraries serving undergraduate and graduate earth science programsSumming Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. (Choice, 1 December 2014)

Peter Crowley Ryan is Professor of Geology and Environmental Studies at Middlebury College where he teaches courses in environmental geochemistry, hydrology, sedimentary geology and interdisciplinary environmental science. He received a Ph.D. in geology at Dartmouth College, an M.S. in geology from the University of Montana and a B.A. in earth sciences from Dartmouth College. He has served as Director of the Program in Environmental Studies and as Chair of the Department of Geology at Middlebury College. His research interests fall into two main areas: (1) understanding the geological and mineralogical controls on trace-element speciation, particularly the occurrence and mobility of arsenic and uranium in bedrock aquifers; and (2) the temporal evolution of marine terrace soils in the tropics, with emphasis on mechanisms and rates of mineralogical reactions, nutrient cycling and application of soil geochemical analysis to correlation and geological interpretation.
