Clay Minerals Society

The Clay Minerals Society (CMS) is an organization dedicated to studying and understanding clay minerals—tiny natural materials found in soils, sediments, and rocks. These minerals are important in various fields like geology, soil science, environmental science, and industry because of their unique properties, such as their ability to absorb water and chemicals. The CMS promotes scientific research, education, and collaboration among professionals worldwide. It also hosts conferences, publishes research journals, and provides resources to advance knowledge of clay minerals and their applications.
