Feature Papers in Environmental Mineralogy and Biogeochemistry

Dear Colleagues,

Environmental Mineralogy and Biogeochemistry is a broad and expanding field of research in Earth and Planetary Sciences. The field interfaces with a range of other disciplines including geology, chemistry, biology, soil science, materials science, archaeology, atmospheric science, nanoscience, medicine and engineering. In this Special Issue we celebrate the growth of this exciting field by publishing invited Feature Papers in key subject areas. We have attempted to cover the breadth of the field, including topics that are emerging and that have not been extensively researched (e.g., arsenic), as well as those that are established but growing rapidly. These topics include geomicrobiology, the environmental mineralogy of Mars, extreme soils and their remediation, mineral-organic interactions, mine waste geochemistry, mineralogy and microbiology, biomineralization, Mn and U geochemistry, and the geochemistry and mineralogy of emerging contaminants.
