Arc Magmatic Tempos, April 2015, Vol. 11, No. 2
$20.00
Research over the past decade has established that magmatism in oceanic and continental arcs is not temporally or spatially steady-state. The causes of well-documented order of magnitude increases in magmatic production over relatively short-lived, high-volume events remain controversial.
Arc Magmatic Tempos
April 2015, Vol. 11, No. 2
Research over the past decade has established that magmatism in oceanic and continental arcs is not temporally or spatially steady-state. The causes of well-documented order of magnitude increases in magmatic production over relatively short-lived, high-volume events remain controversial. Since the differentiation of our planet and formation of the continental crust and its underlying mantle lithosphere is in large part the result of magmatic processes at convergent margins, it is imperative that we understand the underlying controls on the tempo of magmatic and tectonic activity in arcs and the episodic nature of magmatism. These processes also influence socially important processes such as long-term climate change, volcanic and fault hazards, and ore deposition. This issue provides an overview of some recently developed models for episodic behavior in subduction magmatism, from global to single magmatic systems, and explore the causes of high-volume events in subduction-related magmas.

Phosphates And Global Sustainability, April 2008, Vol. 4, No. 2
$20.00Phosphorus is a unique element: it is essential to the existence of all living forms, and as such controls biological productivity in many terrestrial and marine environments; but when in excess, it leads to uncontrollable biological growth and water-quality problems. This has become a common environmental issue, resulting from our careless use of phosphorus in agriculture, yet phosphate ore deposits, from which fertilizers are produced, are a finite natural resource.

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.
