Deep Earth And Mineral Physics
June 2008, Vol. 4, No. 3
The field of high-pressure mineral physics is central to our understanding of the Earth’s interior and its evolution. It is also a field that is rapidly advancing. Recent major discoveries, such as the post-perovskite phase transition that may explain some of the properties of the core–mantle boundary, speak to the continued importance of high-pressure mineral physics experiments. The results from experimental mineral physics along with seismological data are used to construct compositional and thermal models of the Earth and its heterogeneity, including inferences of deep geochemical reservoirs. These results are also key to understanding all planetary bodies in the solar system. This issue of Elements highlights several key areas of high-pressure mineral physics in a form that is accessible to a broad mineralogical audience.

Glasses And Melts: Linking Geochemistry And Materials Science, October 2006, Vol. 2, No. 5
$20.00Geological interest in studying melts stems from early recognition that melts play a fundamental role in determining the physical and chemical behaviour of magmas and magmatic processes. However, due to the inherent difficulties associated with working at high temperatures, much of the geological research over the last 30 years has used quenched melts or glasses as proxies for melts themselves.
