Sustainable Remediation Of Soils
December 2010, Vol. 6, No. 6
Humanity requires healthy soil in order to flourish. Soil is central to food production, regulation of greenhouse gases, and provision of amenity. But soil is fragile and easily damaged by uninformed management or accidents. One source of damage is contamination with the chemicals that are used to provide the lifestyles to which the developed world has become accustomed. Repairing or cleaning up this damage so that soil can again be used for beneficial purposes is a vitally important task. Traditionally, soil “clean up” involved removing the contaminated soil and replacing it with clean soil from elsewhere. Clearly this is not sustainable. Increasingly researchers and practitioners look to clean up contaminated soil and make it good for reuse, rather than simply discarding it. Mineralogy and geochemistry are central to the design and implementation of many of these new approaches.

Phosphates And Global Sustainability, April 2008, Vol. 4, No. 2
$20.00Phosphorus is a unique element: it is essential to the existence of all living forms, and as such controls biological productivity in many terrestrial and marine environments; but when in excess, it leads to uncontrollable biological growth and water-quality problems. This has become a common environmental issue, resulting from our careless use of phosphorus in agriculture, yet phosphate ore deposits, from which fertilizers are produced, are a finite natural resource.
