- Abstract
Main Techniques for Clay Mineral Characterization As mentioned above, the study of clay minerals represents a useful tool to determine many geological surface processes and geodynamic reconstructions. The overview of the distribution of clay minerals in current sediments suggests that clay minerals can be useful proxies for paleoclimatic reconstructions, as reported by the extensive literature data (e.g., Reference [[7]] and reference therein). A further development of clay mineral study of environmental reconstructions is represented by the projection of the conceptual model of clay mineral formations and distributions on Mars. Sedimentary rocks covering most of the Earth's crust are mainly composed of clays, making clay minerals widespread globally.
