Environmental mineralogy and bio-geochemistry of arsenic / Экологическая минералогия и биогеохимия мышьяка

This volume, edited by Rob Bowell, Charlie Alpers, Heather Jamieson, Kirk Nordstrom, and Juro Majzlan, presents a comprehensive review of the topics covered at the “Environmental Geochemistry, Mineralogy, and Microbiology of Arsenic” short course that followed the 24th Annual V.M. Goldschmidt Conference and held at the Miners Foundry, Nevada City, CA (June 15-16, 2014). This project has been a labor of love for the organizers. Changing short-course venues, changing chapter authorship, and other unexpected obstacles, challenged the organizers and threatened to undermine the completion of this volume. It may have taken several years to bring to fulfillment, but Rob and the other editors overcame the obstacles and successfully compiled the volume that you are now reading.
L. Frank Baum, in The Marvelous Land of Oz, wrote “Everything has to come to an end, sometime.” With the completion of this volume, I will be stepping down from my position as the Series Editor of RiMG. It has been a wonderful experience to shepherd this series and work with the Mineralogical Society of America, the Geochemical Society, and so many editors and authors over the past 14 years. Thank you! All supplemental materials associated with this volume can be found at the MSA website. Errata will be posted there as well. <...>
