Central Andes: Mountains, Magmas, And Minerals, August 2018, Vol. 14, No. 4
$20.00
The Central Andes in South America are a first-order geological structure on our planet of an active continental margin. The link between subduction-related magmatism and processes and timing of uplift and volcanism shaped the Andean Cordillera and provides unique examples of the andesite magma generation during passage through thickened crust.
Central Andes: Mountains, Magmas, And Minerals
August 2018, Vol. 14, No. 4
The Central Andes in South America are a first-order geological structure on our planet of an active continental margin. The link between subduction-related magmatism and processes and timing of uplift and volcanism shaped the Andean Cordillera and provides unique examples of the andesite magma generation during passage through thickened crust. As one of the largest ignimbrite provinces, the Central Andes also show ignimbrite “flare-ups” that are linked to crustal thickening and increased mantle magma input. Ignimbrites and andesites are the “smoking gun” of crustal differentiation at active continental margins. The interplay between tectonics and magmatism produced the world’s largest porphyry copper deposits, and the extremely arid climate conditions of the Atacama Desert has led to spectacular salt deposits, including the world’s richest deposits of lithium, boron, iodine and nitrates.

Medical Mineralogy And Geochemistry, December 2007, Vol. 3, No. 6
$20.00Medical mineralogy and geochemistry is an emergent, highly interdisciplinary field concerned with both normal and pathological interactions between minerals or amorphous inorganic solids and biomolecules or cells within the human body, and the transport and fate of prions and protein toxins in the soil environment. Prior research has, appropriately, focused on the complex genetic and molecular biological aspects, but there is a growing recognition of the vital need for understanding the surface and bulk properties and reactivities, especially at the challenging nanoscale characteristic of biomacromolecules and biominerals.

Diamonds, March 2005, Vol. 1, No. 2
$20.00Diamond, the fascinating ultrahard mineral, is the focus of considerable interest and scientific research. Recent advances particularly relevant to geoscientists include: diamond as a recorder of Earth processes from the perspective of inclusions, chemistry, and conditions of formation; synthesis for research applications and processing to modify color and physical properties, important to diamond gems and anvils; the implications of nanodiamonds from meteorites.
