Abstract. The Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA) is the most accepted of available weathering indices. Past conditions of physical and chemical weathering can be reliably inferred if application of the CIA is combined with a comprehensive facies analysis. When applied to the reconstruction of climate conditions during Neoproterozoic times, The Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA) was expressed as CIA (molar) to become a more sensitive measure of the degree of chemical weathering. The CIA (molar) has the value of 1 for fresh feldspars and for unweathered, non-peraluminous igneous rocks, but increases towards infinity as chemical weathering progresses.

However, its method of calculation and the limitations of its application are not well understood. Definition of alteration. [ in rocks] Any change in the mineralogic composition of a rock brought about by physical or chemical means, esp. by the action of hydrothermal solutions; also, a secondary, i.e., supergene, change in a rock or mineral. Alteration is sometimes considered as a phase of metamorphism, but is usually distinguished Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA) of Nesbitt & Young (1982). The CIA is calculated from the major element geochemistry of bulk sediment samples, and was originally proposed as a means to quantify the extent to which sediments have experiencedchernical weathering. Because the CIA can be affected by changes in the provenance of Chapter 6 A review of the Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA) and its application to the study of Neoproterozoic glacial deposits and climate transitions--Heinrich Bahlburg1,* and Nicole Dobrzinski
alteration is defined as any alteration of rocks or minerals by the reaction of hydrothermal fluid with preexisting solid phases. Hydrothermal alteration can be isochemical, like meta-morphism, and dominated by mineralogical changes, or it can be metasomatic and result in significant addition or removal of elements.
Many stud- ies have proposed different chemical weathering indices based on sediment geochemical analyses [8–16]. Nesbitt and Young [9] first proposed the Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA) values of raw bulk volcanic ash ICPMS data and microprobe geochemistry, and petrogenetic interpretations of volcanic ash.

What is the abbreviation for Chemical Index of Alteration? What does CIA stand for? CIA abbreviation stands for Chemical Index of Alteration. alteration is defined as any alteration of rocks or minerals by the reaction of hydrothermal fluid with preexisting solid phases. Hydrothermal alteration can be isochemical, like meta-morphism, and dominated by mineralogical changes, or it can be metasomatic and result in significant addition or removal of elements.
