Over the past 20 years, synchrotron-based research applications have provided important
insight into the geochemical cycling of ions and the chemical and crystallographic
properties of minerals in soils and sediments. Of particular significance is the understanding
of local coordination environments with the use of X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
The high flux and brightness of the X-ray beams have allowed researchers to work at
environmentally relevant concentrations. The use of focusing mirrors and apertures
which allow for mapping and trace particle surfaces, microbes, roots, channels and
elements at the micron and at a nano-meter scale in 2 and 3D have also been a great
enhancement to science. This book provides the most up-to-date information on synchrotron-based
research applications in the field of soil, sediment and earth sciences. Invited authors
provide chapters on a wide range of research topics including multiphase flow and
transport processes (physical aspects), rhizosphere and microbial life (biological
aspects), and dynamics of C, N, S, P and heavy metals and metalloids (chemical aspects).
In addition, perspectives on the impact of synchrotron based applications, particularly
X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and the role of synchrotron applications in remediation,
regulatory, and decision making processes are considered. Up to date, with the latest
research results and techniques in synchrotron-based techniques Information on specific
techniques, elements and minerals, regulatory and remediation decision making, contaminants
and the impact of X-ray absorption spectroscopy on soil science Internationally recognized
leaders in their fields of expertise from Europe, North America, Asia and Australia
