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. 517 $aHeavy Minerals 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aactinolite 610 $aamphibole 610 $aamphiboles 610 $aautomatization 610 $aBay of Bengal 610 $abenthic foraminifera 610 $aBrahmaputra River 610 $abulk-sediment geochemistry 610 $abulk-sediment petrography 610 $aCarboniferous 610 $achemical indices of weathering 610 $achemical weathering 610 $acorrelation 610 $aDevonian 610 $adiagenesis 610 $aearly-middle Pleistocene transition 610 $aepidote 610 $afallacy of laser granulometry 610 $aGanga River 610 $aGanga-Brahmaputra river system 610 $agarnet 610 $ahandbook for laboratory procedures 610 $aheavy mineral 610 $aheavy mineral point-counting 610 $aheavy minerals 610 $aheavy-mineral mounts 610 $aHimalaya 610 $aHimalayan orogen 610 $ahydraulic sorting 610 $aIndus river 610 $aJurassic 610 $aKarakorum 610 $aLadakh-Kohistan arcs 610 $aLanzhou (northern China) 610 $amineral chemistry 610 $amineral grains composition 610 $an/a 610 $aNanga Parbat 610 $anontoxic heavy liquids 610 $aNorth Sea 610 $apetrography 610 $aPliocene 610 $apoint counting 610 $aprovenance 610 $aprovenance analysis 610 $aprovenance and plate-tectonic setting 610 $aprovenance tracers 610 $apyroxene 610 $aRaman spectroscopy 610 $arecycling 610 $arelative and absolute abundances 610 $asampling strategy 610 $asediment 610 $asediment budgets 610 $asedimentary provenance 610 $aselective entrainment 610 $asemi-automated Raman counting 610 $asieving of fine silt 610 $asize-window for analysis 610 $asources 610 $astatistics 610 $asurface texture 610 $asurface textures 610 $asuspension sorting 610 $atectonic versus climatic control 610 $athe Changjiang Delta 610 $atremolite 610 $aTriassic 610 $avarietal studies 610 $awet sieving of silt 610 $aWNW Portuguese Continental Margin 610 $aYellow River terraces 610 $azircon 610 $azircon separation 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aAndo?$b Sergio$4edt$01307623 702 $aAndo?$b Sergio$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557698703321 996 $aHeavy Minerals: Methods & Case Histories$93028869 997 $aUNINA
