Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to publish in the Special Issue of Minerals (ISSN 2075-163X) entitled “Understanding the Rock Weathering Process: Insights from Mineralogy and Geochemistry”.
The Special Issue is an opportunity to bring together recent studies on weathering systems and related chemical, physical, and biological processes whose impacts influence the Earth’s surface and life. It is organized into the following topics:
- Weathering process: geology, mineralogy, and geochemistry;
- Weathering, climate, and climatic zonation;
- Weathering intensity, carbon, and isotopes tracer;
- Weathering patterns over time;
- Weathering and regolith relationship;
- Weathering and mineral deposits;
- Weathering, pedogenesis, water source, and biogeochemical cycling;
- Mobility and transfer from rock to fluid;
- Critical zone, cave formation, and rivers.
