The methodological developments achieved in recent years for the identification of heavy minerals in a wide grain-size range are illustrated. All factors that affect heavy mineral concentration and relative proportions, including hydraulic sorting, mechanical abrasion, chemical weathering, and post-depositional dissolution, and all factors able to introduce analytical, environmental, or diagenetic bias are thoroughly addressed. A proper integration of multiple techniques including bulk sediment, multi-mineral, and single-mineral methods are discussed by renowned authors in their invited contributions.Heavy MineralsResearch & information: generalbicsscactinoliteamphiboleamphibolesautomatizationBay of Bengalbenthic foraminiferaBrahmaputra Riverbulk-sediment geochemistrybulk-sediment petrographyCarboniferouschemical indices of weatheringchemical weatheringcorrelationDevoniandiagenesisearly-middle Pleistocene transitionepidotefallacy of laser granulometryGanga RiverGanga-Brahmaputra river systemgarnethandbook for laboratory proceduresheavy mineralheavy mineral point-countingheavy mineralsheavy-mineral mountsHimalayaHimalayan orogenhydraulic sortingIndus riverJurassicKarakorumLadakh-Kohistan arcsLanzhou (northern China)mineral chemistrymineral grains compositionn/aNanga Parbatnontoxic heavy liquidsNorth SeapetrographyPliocenepoint countingprovenanceprovenance analysisprovenance and plate-tectonic settingprovenance tracerspyroxeneRaman spectroscopyrecyclingrelative and absolute abundancessampling strategysedimentsediment budgetssedimentary provenanceselective entrainmentsemi-automated Raman countingsieving of fine siltsize-window for analysissourcesstatisticssurface texturesurface texturessuspension sortingtectonic versus climatic controlthe Changjiang DeltatremoliteTriassicvarietal studieswet sieving of siltWNW Portuguese Continental MarginYellow River terraceszirconzircon separationResearch & information: generalAndò Sergioedt1307623Andò SergioothBOOK9910557698703321Heavy Minerals: Methods & Case Histories3028869UNINA
