Surfaces of weathered minerals associated with soil drainage: A quantitative microscopic evaluation

The use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has allowed the viewing of the surfaces of silt and sand sized soil minerals. These surfaces are a record of the weathering history of the grain in a particular pedochemical environment. The objective of this dissertation was to develop SEM techniques for the qualitative evaluation of weathered mineral surfaces, and to apply the techniques in a study of mineral weathering.
