| Abstract: | Human habitation is dependent on the chemical and physical processes that shape Earth's surface environment and control the transport, cycling, and chemical form of elements. The challenges facing society concerning water, energy, climate change, and health require a molecular-scale understanding of these processes. It is not surprising therefore that synchrotron radiation (SR) techniques have become essential research tools for the molecular environmental science (MES) and low-temperature geochemistry (LTG) communities as they address critical needs for society. |
