Environmental Geochemistry 3rd Edition

Environmental Geochemistry 3rd Edition by Benedetto De Vivo, Harvey Belkin, and Annamaria Lima delivers a clear, modern roadmap to the chemistry of Earth’s surface and the environmental processes that shape soils, water, and air. Richly updated, this edition synthesizes fundamental geochemical principles with real-world applications—ideal for students, researchers, environmental consultants, and policy-makers seeking authoritative guidance on contamination, resource management, and geochemical cycles.

Explore concise, accessible chapters that cover geochemical cycles, trace elements, contaminant transport, redox reactions, speciation, and the interplay between lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere. Emphasis on analytical methods and field-based interpretation equips readers to evaluate water quality, assess soil contamination, model pollutant fate, and apply geochemistry to remediation and risk assessment. Case studies grounded in diverse environments—freshwater, marine, coastal, and terrestrial—illustrate how theory translates to practical monitoring and decision-making at regional and global scales.

What sets this volume apart is its balance of rigorous science and usability: clear diagrams, step-by-step explanations of sampling and laboratory approaches, and up-to-date discussions of emerging topics such as anthropogenic impacts and geochemical indicators of environmental change. Whether you’re preparing for fieldwork, designing a monitoring program, or interpreting geochemical datasets, this book sharpens analytical thinking and enhances technical competence.

For anyone working in environmental science, hydrogeology, or earth-system research, Environmental Geochemistry 3rd Edition is a definitive reference that bridges classroom learning and professional practice. Add this essential resource to your library to deepen your understanding of geochemical processes and drive informed, science-based environmental decisions.
