About CMS
CMS is an international organization devoted to the study of clays and clay minerals. We encourage exchange of research findings through the publication of
Clays and Clay Minerals, sponsorship of an
annual meeting, online access to the archived journals, special publications, the
Source Clays Repository, and other network building activities. Our members belong to
AIPEA (Association Internationale pour l'Etude des Argiles), have access to our journal through
GSW (GeoScienceWorld), an internet research resource, and receive
Elements, a magazine designed to integrate different sub-disciplines such as mineralogy, petrology, and geochemistry. It includes regular features, news of the societies, awards, announcements of publications, book reviews, and a calendar of future meetings.
