This volume investigates the geological and geochemical properties of manganese.

This book compiles the proceedings from the Second International Symposium on Geology and Geochemistry of Manganese, held in Sydney, Australia in 1976. It presents research from various international scientists on the formation, occurrence, and chemical behavior of manganese deposits. The work aims to consolidate current knowledge and provide a foundation for further study in the field.

The proceedings from this symposium likely represent a significant compilation of scientific research for its time, offering a snapshot of the understanding of manganese geology and geochemistry in the late 1970s. The collected papers would have served as a valuable resource for researchers and geologists specializing in mineral deposits and earth sciences. Its focus on a specific element's geological and chemical aspects suggests a technical and specialized audience.
